I noticed that as well; of course there could be more than one guy named Hama but it would seem a little pointless to put it in otherwise . It did seem a little wrong to have Hama die in the Warg attack (though I'll admit the wargs themselves were pretty impressive) but I'm guessing it's because Haldir was slated to die at Helm's Deep and they didn't want to slow-motion-kill off too many minor characters there. <P>Interestingly enough Haleth is a girls' name in the Silmarillion; odd, that. But she was rather stereotypically masculine for the time (not marrying, becoming a leader of the tribe and so forth) so maybe it became one of those names that can be used for either a girl or a boy, or just became a boys' name altogether.
