The Hobbit:
- Out of the Silent Shire (C S Lewis objected)
- The War of the Wolds (H G Wells sent Tolkien an angry letter for this one)

The Lord of the Rings:
- The Golden Ke- I mean Ring (Andrew Lang was suspicious)
- The Hobbit's Guide to the Galaxy (The ghost of Douglas Adams traveled through time to say 'no')
- Pirates of the corsairs: The Curse of the Gold Ring (Now it's just getting silly)

But the Silmarillion could very possibly have been called:
- Space monsters and Sumo wrestlers. No, SERIOUSLY!
- Snow White And The Seven Sons of Feanor

A little known tale about the later life of Aragorn and Arwen was titled:
- Honey, I Forgot Our Anniversary OR How Aragorn died by being impaled on the tower of Ecthelion.
