Hmmm...let's see now.

Sam's suggestion Ring Around the Rosie was immediately rejected.

The Gaffer's All's Well as Ends Better was thought to be a bit too anti-climactic.

Aragorn's A Tree Grows on Mindolluin was considered too sentimental.

Treebeard's Forest Stump was cut down rather quickly.

Saruman's offering Get Shorty was denied as rude.

Elrond's Mr. Smith goes to Rivendell was considered too anachronistic.

And an apologetic Lobelia Sackville-Baggins offered Taming of the Shrew, but it was too topical.

That wasn't a suggested title, that's just something that happened.

Here we have:

The Lord of the Rings...

Gandalf's Freakish eyebrows 2

Saruman's technicolour dream coat

How a Hobbit upstaged the Kings
