Thank you so much Halbarad. As for Tolkien's essay on Beowulf, I have not been able to find it. I read Beowulf back in college and fell in love with myth and lore. I just haven't had the time to pursue it.

I didn't know so many names were used. Just look at this guys. These are the names of the linage of Durin from The Elder Edda from Iceland.
"Nyi and Nidi, Nordri, Sudri, Austri and Vestri, Althjof, Dvalin(just change v to w and you have Dwalin), Bivor (just change v to f and you have Bifor), Bavor Bombur, Nori, An and Anar, Ai, Mjodvitnir, Veignr and Gandalf, Vindalf, Thorin, Thror and Thrain, Thekkur, Litur, Vitur, Nar and Nyradur,Fili, Kili, Fundin, Nali Hefti, Vili, Hanar, Sviur, Billing, Bruni, Bildur,and Buri, Frar, Hornbori Fraegur, Loni, Aurvangur, Jari, Eikinskjaldi: (All Durin's folk I have duly named,)"

Völuspá or "Prophecy of the Vala"

I also found Strider in Baldur's Dream.
