This topic reminds me of a line in ROTK that always sticks out in my mind: it was when Sam was trying to figure out a name for his baby girl. "Pick something short to begin with so it won't have to get shortened later," I think that's what the Gaffer said, or pretty close to it. Which pretty much ruled out Galadriel, I guess. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Since most of the hobbit-lasses had flower names, he picked Elanor, the "sun-star". Which, co-incidentally, is what I plan on naming my daughter (if and when I ever have children), which will probably be shortened to "Elie," or "El" or something similar anyway later on. I guess there's really no way to stop the process.

Okay. That had nothing to do with anything. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
