The Puppy Wars

[Lush]

Dearest,

I need advice from some good, old-fashioned Tolkien fans on this one.

I recently got a new puppy. She is hopefully the first of three dogs that Boyfriend and I plan to adopt over the next year and a half. The puppy's name is Zara, it's both English and Arab, and she is a German Shepherd/Collie mix. We also plan to get a male Siberian Husky and name him Zizou, after one of our favourite footballers (eat your heart out, Materazzi).

*cough*

To get straight to the point, I would like to give our third dog a literary name. I think a Tolkien-ish name would be great. Of course, I am not sure about the breed name, and what name would go with what breed. I do plan to get a medium to large dog though, and I do plan on getting another male, I know that much.

The bigger problem is Boyfriend. He does not want a name that sounds "silly." We've been arguing about this for a while.

This is where you come in. If you were to give your dog a Tolkien-inspired name, what would it be? And what's a Tolkien name that's not "silly"?

Suggestions will be much appreciated.

Kiss kiss,
Lush.
