It does sound quite nice, but I think we must consider the accent he was accustomed to - "cellar door" sounds much better to me as an Englishman would say it than with American pronuciation!
Indeed. Americanized (and alas, how I therefore say it) is "Sellerr Duhr," or roughly that, depending on the accent of the area. It sounds much better in the English fashion... although, after staring at it for so long and being on a LotR board I'm starting to get into the "hard-c" frame of mind.

Argh, I hate it when people say Seleborn! ::yanks out hair::
