I can't say for sure about North America, since the only people that know about Tolkien that I've met are Russian. ( ) I can say that where I'm originally from (which is Russia, and I think that some other European countries near by might also be included) he's known as Tolkeeyen.

Tolkayn sounds like cocaine. Me no like that.
