Uses of LOTR Names...... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well, my family knows me for my weird cat names. We always get our kittens in pairs, the first pair was Cleopatra and Charlie, the second was Maketa and Rusty, then there was George and Antonio, and finally Bagheera and Rodney. Except for Charlie and Rusty, they were all named after someone. (If you want to know who, PM me. Hey, I'm always interested in where names come from, maybe you are too.)

Anyway, the next pair I am going to name Merry and Pippin. Most definitely!

As for kids...I like the name Samwise except that it means half-wit! Rats. Girls are easier to give weird names to, but boys are more touchy about that, so I wouldn't give my son a LotR name. But perhaps if I have a daughter I'll give her something Elvish...but I don't know what. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, I guess.
