Real world reminders
I was visiting (being dragged round) Leeds Castle today and while there we watched a falconry display. One of the birds was named Lurtz and of course I was immediately sent back into LotR land.
This thread is basically to ask what in the real world reminds you of LotR but also whether anyone has ever seen places, animals or even people with ME names.

There's a song called Its about time from a band called Lillix, that always gets me thinking of LotR, it has nothing to do with it
 , yet LotR just pops into mind whenever I hear that song. Its weird.

The Brandywine River isn't far from where I live. Maybe I really do live in Middle Earth.

The song "White Flag" from Dido reminds me of Aragorn coming up the Anduin and unfurling the Standard of Arwen, even though it's not a "White Flag".

There is the poem "Stopping by woods on a snowy evening " by Robert Frost. This reminds me a lot of Middle Earth. Nights with no moon but lots of stars remind me of Middle Earth, too. And there is a cathedral being built in my town and whenever I pass it, I think of Minas Tirith.
