Ok well I know this won't make a very good thread but, I could not think of where else to put this.

I am the proud owner of a Gollum figurine that has it's own little rock stand and when you push a button on the rock it screechs out "MY PREEECCCIOOOUUUSSSS!!!" It also has really fun bendable arms and legs.

This Gollum sits on my station at work. Now here's the thing, I have a lot of clients that comment on it. The weird thing is more than half of them call him Smeagol not Gollum, though clearly he is Gollum (all emaciated and little beady red eyes)

My question is, why do you suppose most people call him Smeagol? I have some ideas of my own, but I would love to hear what others thought of this. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just here where I live?
