Ooh, no, wait... technically, as the question was asked, this answer is correct.

Finwe Nolofinwe and Finwe Arafinwe added those extra Finwes themselves, so they're not in their Father-names. Well done.

Someone somewhere at some point said that if the eldest followed those traditions, his Sindarin name would have been Fincurfin.....

How tricksy are you being? Because the tricksy answers are Iluvatar and Aule, who between them have every Elf, Man, and Dwarf in the world.

Non-tricksy... going to throw out a guess at Mistress Rose and Sam-dad.

Yeah. I had Sam and Feanor in mind, but I forgot Rosie.

Back to you.

Oh, well then: after Sam and Rosie, which couple had the next-most children? It's not Feanor and Nerdanel.
