Actually they are the ones that spring to mind immediately when you try to think who or what is famous for real...

I see no indication that the Two Trees of Valinor was widely known outside elven-circles in the third age.

I know that this is a somewhat hollow statement, since this sort of scrutiny can be applied to everybody on the list.

It all depends on how one choses to read the word "famous".... I would never call the sun famous, but I am fairly sure that most people that walk this earth, know of it. The trees would have been known to many in their time, but I guess not to all, some would only be familiar with their light. After they died, I doubt they were well known to any other than the Eldar.
