Some thoughts on Legolas's name:

Obviously, it means Greenleaf, but as to what was said *checks thread* well, a year ago, that green=galen. There was a river in Beleriand called the Legolin. Unless I am very mistaken, this means 'Green River', in=river, as in 'anduin', so Legolas's name is split like this: "Logol" and "as", "Legol" meaning 'green' and not "lego".

Some actual on-topic thoughts:

The name "Frodo" is derived from the Anglo-Saxon name "Froda", which, according to my little copy of Beowulf here is the name of one of the kings. Tolkien had said many, many times that he was influenced by Beowulf, and who could be more deserving of a king's name than the Ringbearer?
