A More challenging Name Game - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

That is a hard one! But I've got one! Andy, Sam's uncle!

Are repeats okay?

Tuor of Gondolin · 07-27-2004, 08:27 PM

By "repeats" if you mean the identical name, I don't think so. otherwise a round would never end. I know "Andy" is tough, but I may have an acceptable name.

But if challenged, it's open to removal.
How about "Young Tom Cotton"? In The scouring of the Shire he's mentioned as one of Farmer Cotton's children by that appelation.

Oh, and nicknames are okay. In the same round, for example, Merry and Meriadoc could be used.

By the by, an interesting category in the future could be women/girls.

Sorry about that! I'll try not to do it again. Anyways, how about Nob, one of the servants of Barliman Butterbur

What's to be sorry about? A good question.

I'd love to say "Bingo", but JRRT (thankfully) changed that plot person.

Uh Oh. Another "Y".

The saucepan man is tricksey. We musn't play the riddle game with him, precious.

Hmm. This will take some thought. Has TSM won the first round? Stay tuned!
