names and their meanings

[the_master_of_puppets]

After reading the review on the Downs today it was brought to my attention the fact Tolkien may 'perhaps' (enphisis on the perhaps there) have chosen his character names for certain reasons and something else to do with planned irony or something like that (but i dont think i was that exactly). Was i the only one too stupid to notice, or was it the case that perhaps it wasnt like that at all? Again, im just curious about other peoples views...
