... okay. If Boromir and Finduilas are correct, that makes 8 (since neither of them had been previously mentioned); so we have the full list somewhere.
Guesses before the 6/8: - On a rock - Maedhros, Hurin
- Beloved sibling - Lalaith
- Died by fire - Aerin
- Like-named - Arien, Rian (stated to be wrong)
- Stern - Morwen
- Gold - Nienor Niniel
- Monster-slayer - Turin
- Warden - Mablung, Huor
I think #4 has to be Finduilas - we know she's a correct answer, and I don't think she fits anywhere else (plus we don't have a valid answer there). And #2 is confirmed as Boromir (who is named after Boromir, 1st Lord of Ladros, great-grandson of Beor, thank you very much  ).
Hurin the Tall was Warden of the Keys during the War of the Ring; Faramir would have known him in his childhood.

And this list, also, is nearly all correct. In fact, you're only missing one person.
But... how can this be???
