Re: What is the reason for your nickname ?

I needed a Tolkien related name for Barliman's at theonering.net. I knew almost imediately that it would be one of Bilbo's nicknames from The Hobbit. First I was looking at the names he gave to Smaug, but on a whim I flipped back through the book and came across 'burrahobbit' and I've used it ever since for anything Tolkien related.

There is a similar topic in The Barrow-downs called "Where'd you get that nick?"

What's a burrahobbit got to do with my pocket, anyways?</p>Edited by: <A HREF=http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile&u=00000062>burrahob bit</A> at: 11/4/00 9:13:34 am
