I'd much prefer Trotter or even Celeborn!

I think Nenya, Narya, and Vilya are all pretty names.
I'm also a fan of the name Figwit. Of course if I ever have a son I'm going to name him Pippin

scuse me i didnt know you were the AUNT but anyway...galadriel is too well known; how bout annael for a girl??

Thanks so much for everyone's contributions (how could I forget Teleporn? Shame on me).

It's good to know that Arwen exists in Welsh. I really really love that name, and I suppose if one ever gets teased for it a spiel about its other origins might shut up the other side (though probably not).

I also really like Rian, Silme (then again people can barely read these days, so everyone would probably read her name off as "slime), Vanessa (it is a lovely name, wilwarin, you've lucked out), and so on.

I haven't thought much of boy names, because they're pretty sure it's a girl in there, but Aman is gorgeous.

I put my best shots on morm's thread but if it were a boy... I think you might just get away with Faramir with a Russian/Ukrainian surname? I mean Faramir Smith is a bit conspicuous but Faramir Baryshnikov.... (or whatever) is so much more plausible.....

Congratulations on your impending aunt-hood, Lush.

I didn't dare suggest ME names for my children; our families are too traditional.

*However*, if Tolkien-related names had been an option, these are some I've always liked (in no particular order):

Girls
Aerin
Morwen
Arda
Elenna
Miriel
Finduilas
Lothiriel

Boys
Beren
Anarion (I know it's a place name, but I like the sound)
Faramir
Peregrin

And though they are tragic/fearful characters, I like the sound of Turin and Maeglin.

It's a person-name; Anarion was Isildur's brother.

Another good name for a boy is Maglor.
