Uses of LOTR Names...... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hhhmmm.. I've not had any pets since my fish died three years ago. Lemme think.. I think it was called 'the ball' because it was round. ^_^ Hhhhmmm.. I wish I had a cat though.. Or possible a dog. If I had a cat I would name it something elvish (or possible dwarvish, to be original [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]). If I got a dog I would name it Khelek - that is, as long as GreatWarg doesn't protest against it..

Hhhhmmm.. children names, yes. If I ever get married and have children I would, of course, love to give them names from the books, preferably elvish. Naming children 'Maedhros' or 'Gil-Galad' might be a little bit cruel though, so I was thinking that perhaps the hobbit names would be best.. Merry, Pippin, Pearl, Diamond, Rosie, Sam... even though they do refer to LotR, not everybody will think about it at start (unless they are obsessed with LotR, like me)..

I have started to work on my own language, so I might just give my kids (that is, if I ever get any) names derived from that. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
