No.

Let's see. Places have names, people have names, things have names. And sometimes, the name of one might inspire a name for another.

Fingon is to Maedhros

______ is to Beren.

Wow, no, it could have been even better! You can try something like it next time

Anyway... hmm... *scratches head*

Bilbo is to Thorin

as

_______ is to Saruman
