What would you name your sword - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

One of the more amusing points in my Lord of the Rings fan life was whilst I was reading FotR for the first time. My friend TheGreatElvenWarrior was talking to me about something and mentioned Frodo's sword. I distinctly remember asking "So what was the sword called? I bet it's something pathetic like Sting . . . ". Yes, I actually said that. TheGreatElvenWarrior thought this was hilarious and finally revealed to me that this in fact the sword's name and I was appalled. I never DID like that name. . .

'The Dragon Disseverer' would have been much better. But then why would anyone want to dissever a dragon? Perhaps 'The Radish Ripper' then. Or even better: 'The Slug Severer', slugs are far worse than Sauron - everyone knows that.
