Morm, looking back at your previous request, I noticed that we never got to hear the result - and now the quest continues! Will you divulge whether Daughter the Second found a ME name?

*sigh* Negative. I love her name, Sidney, as my middle name is Sid but it's not a M-e name. I will continue to try, however.

Selmo has just left Hobbiton.
When thinking about names for my first daughter, I recalled Frodo's advice to Sam when his and Rosie's first child was born.

Frodo advised Sam to choose a flower name, in keeping with Hobbit tradition.
I'm English, so following Frodo's advice I chose a traditional English name for my daughter. I named her Elizabeth.

If you had gone for George's other daughter, Selmo, you could have got both traditional English and traditional hobbish: Margaret Rose. Lots of noble Margarets, although I suppose no majesties.

"Laurel" might suit a floral theme without being too florid. Then if your next is male, you could call him "Hardy." (Oh, wait, on perusing past posts here I see 'Laurel' was already suggested. Do you ever refer to your other two daughters as "Sid and the kid"?

What is your first daughter's name? I suppose somehow the three names ought to be compatible (without being similar) so none feels out of place, so to speak?

Apparently in times of war the number of boy babies slightly increases. Perhaps your feminine fecunity brings happy tidings of peace. Congratulations!

Surely noble names have a tendency to be more international, where as the proletarian names would be more bound by traditions of the local area?

Not that I really know anything about this.

Congrats morm!

I agree that Rian is lovely. Keep on trying for that.

The flower theme is a nice idea as well. A little like it, Lotë (quenya for flower, I guess) might make a pretty name, and might even look fine with a German surname (actually it resembles the German girl's name Lotte (like the woman in Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther...) ) especially if you removed the ¨ from the e.

Also Nessa might not sound bad or too "obviously Tolkien".

Okay, so she was born on the 25th and we have decided upon a name, while she is not Rian, she is a Middle-earth inspired name! Miriel! She is lovely and has a great temperment.
