Oh wow, thanks guys!
How could I forget
Estel? Or
Gandalf for that matter?!
Right now we're thinking that the possible third dog will be a guard-dog. I grew up with a female Doberman as my friend and protector, and she saved my mother's life twice, so the connection is strong there. A Doberman named Estel might be perfect.
If I go the German Shepherd route, however, Gandalf would be a great name.
Also,
Gamgee,
Milo,
Modol (thanks,
F!),
Tulkas, etc... Well, I could go on, but this thread is brimming with good suggestions.
Of course,
Huan is a wonderful name for a dog.
Have you guys heard about
the monks of New Skete? ? They tend to give their dogs Tolkien names, only not names I would like:
Mordor's Winter, for example. What's up with that?
