I wish I were clever enough to answer this without double checking my classical mythology on Google! Well you have certainly put a darker "spin" on this than I intended. I had been thinking of Aglaia (splendour), Euphrosyne (Mirth) and Thalia (good cheer) rather than of Fates and Furies!

Extra lengthe? More rope to hang myself with?

Gil-galad ... I didn't want to typecast!

Folco: Zifnab. (You know what I mean...)

Merry & Pippin: oblo & burra. Seriously, who else?

Celeborn: Davem, Fordim, Child et al... or NN10, depending on how you read that one quote...

Glorfindel: Kkate. Glorious on the page, but you miss her on the screen.

Frodo: Mr Underhill. Don't you people read the books? That one's easy.

The Barrow-Wight: BW. As above.

Aragorn: Esty, in a world where the real warriors make quilts.

etc

Don't want the Norns becoming the norms, as it were.
