Is it... are they all names which have applied to multiple characters? Frodo Took from the drafts (or Frodo Gardner, which is probably more reasonable), and of course the Bills and Toms... but Strider? Oh, wait, someone named their pony Strider! [Checks] Right, it was Frodo, the cheeky blighter.

In that case, 1 could be LEGOLAS (of Gondolin), which does include 'las(s)', and Lego is at least Scandinavian. But I'm less and less confident with each word I write.

Aha! The final answer could be VORONWE, a literal anagram of 'woven or', and meaning 'the Faithful'. Mardil the Steward took it as an aftername, and of course the original is Tuor's guide.
