Did Nandor have golden hair? I'd have thought *silver* like the Teleri. This last item makes me....wonder.....just if that little, ole Amroth had his ma's golden tresses, a-la Finarfin, a-la Indis......

I'm not sure silver hair was a Telerin trait necessarily. Tolkien noted, at least about the Sindar, who were a Telerin branch remaining in Beleriand....
Quote:
'Elwe himself had indeed long and beautiful hair of silver hue, but this does not seem to have been a common feature of the Sindar, though it was found among them occasionally, especially in the nearer or remoter kin of Elwe (as in the case of Cirdan). In general the Sindar appear to have very closely resembled the Exiles, being dark-haired, strong and tall, but lithe.'

In any case Amroth's golden hair is noted in the same text in which he is the son of Amdir, not Celeborn and Galadriel. So we have another golden-haired Sinda according to
Amroth and Nimrodel, despite the general picture drawn above...
... and in Appendix F.
