I agree with the people who lean towards the lesser-known Tolkien names. I haven't had any Middle Earth related pets, but I like the idea of something not too strange, and not too obvious either.

I have always thought I'd like to name a daughter Elanor, but I've got used to using that name for myself now, both here and on other websites. So it might feel a bit strange to call a daughter that. I also like Teleri as a name for a daughter. Where I grew up (Wales) there were several girls called Eleri, so Teleri wouldn't be that different, just enough to have that Elvish ring to it.

I also like the name Elrond for a cat - he would have to be a very elegant and noble cat, no scratching!
