Actually, Arwen is a Welsh name meaning "Muse" - if you wanted to give her a way she could claim that her name is entirely related to Tolkien.
I actually think that Melian could be a beautiful name for a girl. Here are some more that I like (off the top of my head) - I'm pretty sure I repeat: Girls: Arwen Emeldir (though we know I've always been a fan) Melian Aerin Elerrina Arien (though people might connect that with "arian", don't know if you mind) Avallónë (could just have "o" and "e", I guess) Brethil Elenna Nienna Rian Idril (stretching it a bit) Laurelin Lindon (this could be for both genders, I think) Eä (though it's short, I think it's very pretty) Eressea would be kind of pretty There's always Luthien Miriel Narya Fea Anna Boys: Barahir Hollin Lorgan (close enough to Logan that I don't think he'd get trouble) Brandir Lindon Have to go pack up the car now...

Nessa ad Vana are really nice, and you put them together to get Vanessa, which isn't obviously a ME tipe name. Plus the elven word for Beauty is Vanessë.
 Plus Vanessa is my name.  Its Greek though so I don't know if it would go with a Ukrainian or Russian last name.For a boy I like Aman alot.

Lorien would be nice, yes - but can you imagine the number of times when someone would mishear and spell it 'Lauren'?
Many of the female names sound and look Welsh, or maybe Irish - Rían and Rómenna, for example, sound Celtic and Arwen, along with names like Bronwen, is actually a Welsh name. So if you like the sound of 'Tolkien-based' names, you could always consider lists of Welsh or Irish/Scottish traditional names (Welsh here and Irish here). Oh, and just an endnote - I'm rather fond of Elentari. It sounds lovely and I love the meaning - imagine being called 'Queen of the Stars'...

As it happens, I went to school with a girl named Lorien, and -- yes -- her parents had named her in reference to Middle-Earth.
For my money, I think a good name for boy would be Teleporn...

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
