LotR Names - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Encaitare · 08-03-2004, 09:03 AM

From what I've read on some other threads, it seems some 'Downers and/or people they know have elvish names or names of LotR characters. My question is, does this merit torment from cruel people who don't get that having such a name makes you infinitely cool? See, in the event that I should ever have a son (not that this is going to happen anytime soon), I wish to name him Peregrin because I think it's suchan awesome name. (Peregrin Nigel, in full, actually, but we won't go there

) For a girl a think that having a name like Arwen or Galadriel wouldn't be bad at all because they're pretty names, but for a guy it may be different.

Just curious, I'd like to know what LotR-related names you/people you know have and if you've ever gotten teased or anything for it. Wouldn't want to have my future children hate me!
