Naming your child Wargy? Would that not be a source of hardship for her/him? Wargs, after all, have suffered so much discrimination that, had anyone less been subject to the same treatment, they would have gone mad and ended the world in a flurry of triple-ripple peach ice cream.

Of, course, the name "Warg" alone confers great strength of mind and spirit to anyone who deserves such a title. Only a few of the Eruchín in history have been given it. Yondaimë, I believe, was one, and so did Lúthien, Finrod (my dad), Huor, Tuor, Idril, and Aragorn. Of those I have named, only Tuor, Idril and Aragorn did not receive that title posthumuosly.

I just hope that your child would bear the name with dignity. Then despite all the abuse she or he might receive from a world shorn of respect for the wonderful Wargs, she or he will rise above it, as the Wargs have ever done.

Also, could the mere name have some kind of effect on the child? The sheer power of the Warg coming through this link could cause the child some difficulty in life.

Well made points, my comrades. Tis an interesting point you make, Kath, that the very name may in some way distort and pervert my child. I assure you all, though, my children will not be as the other cretins of this earth who view Wargs with disdain and revulsion. My children will see Wargs as the wondrous and great creatures they truly are, and shall be the better for it, I assure you.

My children being bullied is linked into this, Nilpaurion. After all, if you were named 'Nelson' after Mr. Mandella in apartheid S.Africa, that may be a source of ridicule and perhaps worse, but it would be the classic situation of words never hurting.

My son shall, fellow Warg lovers, be a great and honourable man- his visage shall be that of the most noble line of Gondor and his heart shall be likened to that of the Dunedain. Let me tell you, if any man should be named Wargy, it shall be my son!

Indeed I have searched for this new gorup of Wargs in my area. Evidence includes mysterious dissapearances in my area, something the benevolent Winged Wargs would not do. Unfortunately I have not been able to track down the Sorcerous Wargs as yet. They might be in hiding from the winged Wargs.

Samwise, a child with a name such as Wargy would be both blessed and cursed. Blessed, because the name of the Warg in itself is a great and powerful thing, conferring great honor and prestige upon those who bear it. Cursed because of the vile ridicule and vicious slander that such a name would bring.

Also, some of you may know that Encaitare has made Warg & Warg Rider Appreciation Thread Live Journal icons, by request of my sister Oromin. Many of them feature quotes from you Samwise. They can be found here.

SamwiseGamgee · 08-01-2005, 04:38 PM

Those are great! I have no idea what they actually do, but I feel honoured and blessed that I have been quoted. Man, Wargs can make you so happy, can't they!

Orominuialwen · 08-01-2005, 06:21 PM

They're like avatars, but are used for blogs. I just made Fingolfin a warg avatar, which will be up as soon as I upload it. I hope you like it!

SamwiseGamgee · 08-02-2005, 04:57 AM

Indeed, Fingolfin's new avatar is most agreeable. Get the boot in those horrid, horrid movie 'Wargs' (and I use the term advisedly) at any opportunity, that's what I say.
