How about William in my honour? Then his nickname would be Will just like me. Except I'm Wil, but thats a minor detail.

vanwalossien has just left Hobbiton.
Gandalf

Actually, I read a story in a newspaper last summer or whenever it was, about this guy, they wrote a good bit before they casually dropped his name into a sentence. His name was Gandalf Appearently, it's an ancient Norwegian name from the Edda, but really, no-one here is going to relate it to anything but Tolkien.

I always liked the idea of naming a girl Tinúviel, Tina for short, but I'm not sure about boys' names. A friend of mine once said that she couldn't marry a man who wouldn't agree to name his son Aragorn..

I agree. That name has always been in my mind very beautiful and majestic.

I tried to name my parent's second dog (a white, male, very fluffy pomeranian) after Tilion, but they immediately stuck their noses up to it... Now I call their other pomeranian (a female, who is red) Arien, just to spite them. Unfortunately, they like this nickname. I just wish they would accept that if your going to have an Arien, you need a Tilion as well! It drives me mad sometimes...

There's always Dane/Dain...I know of a person whose name is Dane, and I always think of Dain Ironfoot when I hear of him.

Durin isn't such a bad name.

Thumbs up Hear ye! Hear ye! Fordim be in need of hobbit names

For those who do not frequent the role playing inns, an announcement here is made and advice sought.

Master Fordim Hedgethistle and his lovely wife Mistress Hedgethistle, neé Willow Whisp, have become the proverbially proud parents of hobbit twins. Children and mother doing well; father near speechless, a state heretofore unknown to him.

Now the prevalence of twins among the hobbits is a rarity, rarer even than amongst the race of men, and so it is to be understood that the parents are in something approaching a quandry. The naming of children is a solemn thing and much time, effort and thought is expended on this momentous act which recalls Adam's role in Eden--or whoever the Middle-earth version is. But to have to consider two names, now that is flumoxing indeed for new hobbit parents, even hobbits as sage and sagacious as our Hedgethistle family.

So we are here to offer our help and sage advice to Master Fordim Hedgethistle and his wife, as congratulations on the birth of their twins. Shall the names be something non-cannonical or noble and Numenorean or creatively hobbitish?

Bibble and Bobble Hedgethistle?

Clementine and Candy Apple Hedgethistle, in honour of the season?

Hildefonds and Harreld Hedgethistle? Holly and Halfred?

Lisianthus and Lupin Hedgethiste?

Offer your suggestions here and see what Master Fordim makes of our kindnesses.
