I was going with Mr for 'lad', and fair as the other half of 'barnet fair'. The A was because... well... Faramir has another A.

Yep! Faramir's the kid who led to the first demise of the Line of Kings in Gondor: as second son of King Ondoher, he was

Um. Well, the phrase 'Norwegian Wood' jumps to mind, but I think that's a song. (Apparently it's a book as well, but more famously a song.) Hmm.
