So the name was a reminder of the past, the land she had left behind. Do you think that annoyed the other elves in Lothlorien. I mean it's like saying 'I went to the West and you didn't'. Can elves be that childish?Or am i simplifying it too much.

Did the Golden trees in Lothlorien, the mellorn already grow there so galadriel name the land that? That's wierd these beautiful trees grow there and no one paying any attention till Galadriel comes or did she bring them for the point of naming her land Lothlorien. In which case she already had a name and a destination before she left the West or was it her gift of foresight that told her to call it that?

I wonder if the other elves in Lothlorien every got a say in what the land was called, I'm sure there must of been powerful elves dwelling there, did they just have to obey Galadriel, what about Celeborn?
