Shield Your doom lies in your name, not in yourself....

Now most of you will go "Wait... no, no, that´s wrong.. it´s switched around..."
It´s very nice you noticed, BUT I´m not talking about Turin. I´m talking about one person who´s doom did lay in her name. I´m talking about Arwen, Now you´re going to say "So? What about her?". I´ll tell you...

Some rather simple elvish, from the sil Appendix:
Ar-: high, kingly, royal
-wen: girl, women, lady. Also a common ending of femine names.

So actually, Arwen´s name means king´s women. And king´s women, is a synonym for king´s wife!!!! And what was Arwen? The KING´S WIFE!
So, you see my point. Arwqen´s name was a foreboding of her future. But who gave that name to her? Who already knew what this girls destiny would be? And if Elrond named his daughter(or let her be named) such an expressive name, you really feel ike asking: "Well then why was he so suprised that she fell in love with Aragorn. And why did he try to stop their love, theor relationship?
What do you think?
