For those who do not frequent the role playing inns, an announcement here is made and advice sought.

Master Fordim Hedgethistle and his lovely wife Mistress Hedgethistle, neé Willow Whisp,

have become the proverbially proud parents of hobbit twins. Children and mother doing well; father near speechless, a state heretofore unknown to him.

Now the prevalence of twins among the hobbits is a rarity, rarer even than amongst the race of men, and so it is to be understood that the parents are in something approaching a quandry. The naming of children is a solemn thing and much time, effort and thought is expended on this momentous act which recalls Adam's role in Eden--or whoever the Middle-earth version is. But to have to consider two names, now that is flumoxing indeed for new hobbit parents, even hobbits as sage and sagacious as our Hedgethistle family.

So we are here to offer our help and sage advice to Master Fordim Hedgethistle and his wife, as congratulations on the birth of their twins. Shall the names be something non-cannonical or noble and Numenorean or creatively hobbitish?

Bibble and Bobble Hedgethistle?

Clementine and Candy Apple Hedgethistle, in honour of the season?

Hildefonds and Harreld Hedgethistle? Holly and Halfred?

Lisianthus and Lupin Hedgethiste?

Offer your suggestions here and see what Master Fordim makes of our kindnesses.
