You'd be surprised how many key names aren't taken here. I don't believe anybody has the name of Meriadoc Brandybuck.

The names Peregrin and Meriadoc are available because of we Downers' tendency to eat Hobbits before they reach adulthood. Surprisingly, they taste like veal.

Here, have a glass of milk.

Well that's kind of rude and unnecessary I would say.

Hmmm...both rude and unnecessary. And here I considered it more wryly facetious and unnecessary (but then very few posts are intrinsically essential, really; hence, the continued existence of a forum such as this).

I extend a belated welcome to the Barrow,
We love little Hobbits -- to the very marrow!
