Did you know that the name Tolkien originally thought of for Frodo was
'Bingo-Bolger Baggins'!! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] But then as the story became more serious he changed it to Frodo which was the name he had originally given to one of his travelling companions.
He got the name Frodo from some Iclandic king in Beowolf who was called Frodi
