Tolkien Names for Girls and Boys

I'm about to become an aunt, and in the upcoming flurry of activity that surrounds the arrival of a new baby, my cousin and his wife have been discussing possible names.

At first they thought I went off the deep end when I suggested a Middle Earth-inspired name for kicks, but there were a few I came up with that they thought were pretty cool. Of course, they're not actually going to use them, especially seeing as they sound really strange in both Ukrainian and Russian, but I've been inspired.

I used some common roots found in the languages to create a few names, instead of borrowing from existing characters, and I realized that it's tons of fun (either that or I'm really bored at the moment).

Some of the names that my cousin and his wife liked were:

Melloth
Silwen
Arelias

As a sidenote, my boyfriend, who claims to be as non-dorky as they come, really likes the name Arwen for a baby girl (but he says he imagines she'd be teased mercilessly at school).

Does anyone else have cool Middle Earth names they'd like to share? Anyone plan on using one?
