Congratulations!! This is wonderful news! I hope all is going well. Are these the first Hedgethistle children?

Another obvious Tolkien choice would be Elladan and Elrohir.
Here is something I personally like, for girls and a bit Hobbitish yet modern Brooke and Meadow.

Lush · 12-25-2005, 11:32 PM

Mnogaya Leta. Congratulations. May they blossom and grow and run in green fields and walk in enchanted forests and come out having defeated the witch and captured the treasure, as the happy tales go.

Moxie and Pepsi are good twin names, not to mention the fact that they hail from the underrated Bored of the Rings.

Another good one is Eagle and Child. Or, if you want to go casual, Bird and Baby.

Seriously though, congrats, and good luck. My mum has an identical twin, they're loads of fun. And sometimes they're not so fun, but we won't get into that. Their names, if you're interested, are Tatiana and Natalia.

Cheers!

Clearly I have been gone too long! Fordim, I have no idea when you'll see this post, as you and the missus are probably still in the throes of sleep deprivation and in no state to check messages. But accept my heartfelt wishes of good and joyful lives for your new babes.

For a boy and a girl: Hopwell and Heather?
For two girls: Rose and Lila, Esmerelda and Pearl, or to go back in Hobbit history, Belladonna and Miradonna.
For two boys: Merry and Pippin, or Frodo and Samwise...I know, so obvious, but how could we pass up the opportunity?

In view of the rarity of twins among Hobbit-kind, I think they deserve more than the run-of-the-mill in the selection of their names. Perhaps something a bit grander?

Girl and boy:
Hareth and Haldir
Elenna and Elfwine
Eomer and Eowyn

Girls
Rian and Morwen
Arwen and Luthien
Elenna and Eressea

Boys
Hador and Halmir
Huor and Tuor
Holdwine and Elfwine

Fordim Hedgethistle · 01-26-2006, 08:33 AM

We've decided to go with Inky and Stinky but thank you all for the suggestions.

Child of the 7th Age · 01-26-2006, 08:40 AM

Oh, you nasty, nasty papa! I rather liked "Eagle and Child".

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-26-2006, 01:27 PM

Inky and Stinky, eh? And here I'd have guessed Slinker and Stinker.

My sincerest congratulations, Papa Hedgethistle, if I've not given them before now.

Morsul the Dark · 03-13-2006, 12:44 PM

as opposed to starting a new thread ill add on here

I feel bad for my future son,

His name will be Ian Andrew Gandalf Mag.....

Or just Iam Andrew Mag...(so his initials are the enigmatic I am)

or Samwise Andrew Magu....(which makes his initials S.A.M.)

Mithalwen · 03-13-2006, 12:58 PM

But Samwise means "halfwit" .... you would really want to call your son that?

Morsul the Dark · 03-13-2006, 01:02 PM

true.....however sam is my favorite charactor

Ohhhh...if I felt like being an evil mother I could bring that up...you know, after the child tries to run away or something, I'd just be like "Yeah, well...guess what your name means?"

But that'd just be mean.

I've always loved the name Rosie, because no one will ever know it's origins unless you choose to tell them!

**The Saucepan Man** · 06-19-2006, 12:44 PM

Sorry to hijack this thread, but it made sense to use it rather than starting a new thread.

The Saucepan clan has just become the proud owner of a Black Labrador puppy named Frodo (Mrs Saucepan's choice, not mine).

I don't think Rosie is necessarily a role model I would wish to give any daughter of mine ...would have to have "Marie" and "Stopes" as middle names......

Photos attached below.

What a cutie, eh?

Little does he know that one day he shall be dispatched to Mordor with a Ring on his collar ...

Brinniel · 07-01-2006, 12:16 AM

Oh, I can't see the pics. But I'm sure he is cute.

I wanted to name my dogs a Tolkien name, but my family wouldn't allow it.....

Here's my favorite names:

Boys:
Anduin
Beren
Daeron (Dae for short)
Edain
Elros
Rumil
Taras
Thalion
Tuor
Turin

Girls:
Arien
Elenna
Haleth
Idril
Indis
Lalaith
Melian
Miriel
Morwen
Nessa
Nienna
Niniel
Rian
Vana

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-01-2006, 05:04 PM

Oh well. Looks like photobox won't let me display the pictures. Must be a bandwidth thing.

Edit: Managed to resize the photos so I could upload them.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-01-2006, 09:15 PM

Saucie, I want him!!! He looks utterly cuddlable. Congrats to the Saucepan Clan for such an adorable new addition to the family.

Brinniel · 07-02-2006, 10:05 PM

Awww. Puppy Frodo is quite adorable (not to mention, his new residence resembles the Shire

)

Lush · 08-01-2006, 10:33 PM

Frodo? AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I will never be allowed to name my dog Frodo. *sighing, jealousy, et.*

Oh, and thread.I've started a new thread.

Fordim Hedgethistle · 08-02-2006, 09:10 AM

Frodo already has the Ring! I saw it in the third picture there at the bottom of his comfortable basket.

Poor little blighter.

The Ring is lost! It lurks hidden somewhere in the garden of Saucepan, awaiting its Master's call.

Frodo now has the Pink Fluffy Pig of Power and the Rubber Chicken of Doom to keep him occupied ...

Oh, and he has all but destroyed that comfortable little basket.

Fordim Hedgethistle · 08-04-2006, 10:47 AM

Hermmm....if the Ring has forsaken the Pup then he was clearly misnamed. Isildur or even *shudder* Smeagol may have been more appropriate!

Note: WHATEVER HAPPENS, DON'T FEED THE DOG FISH!

shieldmaiden4xsword · 08-23-2006, 12:38 PM

hmmm.....i like the names:

Girls:

Aeryn (where does it come from? it's pretty)
Arien
Arwen (lovely name)
Elenna
Elanor (I really like that name.)
Eowyn (I AM nuts. How to pronounce it?)
Estel sounds like a good girls name. hm.
Laurel
Lorien
Luthien
Miriel
Morwen (Steelsheen. I'd probably not name my girl that, though.

)
Rosie

how to pronounce Tinuviel? just wondering......

Boys:

I'm boring, I'd probably name my boys ordinary names or something.

Elmo · 02-19-2007, 08:18 AM

I got slagged enough in my school for having an Irish name I'd hate to be a kid called Frodo...

***Thenamir*** · 02-19-2007, 09:35 AM

Any of you who have followed my posts for long knows that I have a veritable army (OK, a small special-forces unit) of cats who share my home. I cannot be called their owner, because as everyone knows, cats are the rulers of all they survey. (Dogs have owners -- cats have staff.) My daughter, nearing the age of independence and preparing to move out, wishes to take two of our cats with her, both solid black.

She wants to call them Morgoth and Sauron.

I suspect it does depend upon one's local culture. After all, the founder and patron saint of Glasgow is St. Kentigern, affectionately known in that city as St. Mungo.

Rather makes all the Bombur, Bilbo, Drogo, Bifur, Bofur, Boffin, Brego names more . . . well . . . colloquial if not parochial.

Thena, don't tell red you have more kittens in the house! Or is your daughter thinking of renaming cats you have already named?

Elmo · 02-19-2007, 11:06 AM

I don't think I was slagged because it was Irish per se it just sounded stupid to them

***Thenamir*** · 03-01-2007, 04:38 PM

Bb, it's a renaming thing. However, as far as sheer numbers of cats we are way down off our personal-best (which, if I recall correctly, was 23

). We're in single digits now.

Thinlómien · 10-13-2007, 06:06 PM

Because of recent events, I think this thread deserves HIing...
