Since Urwen bumped this up a couple of weeks ago, how about I give a puzzle?

Narvi -> Maeglin (just for you, Urwen!).

I can do this in 6 (assuming that means '6 names total', including both ends) several ways, and 5 by at least two slightly cheeky routes... oh, and 3 by a very cheeky route. No Sauron, Gandalf, or Saruman required.

(If you include a non-obvious link, it'd be nice to get an explanation for it - that's how we learn random trivia, after all!)
