Agreed.

I suppose that Doubling, unlike Halfling, might have seemed too obviously a politically correct invention to catch on.

I suppose the hobbits might instead have been called beardless-dwarves. But that name may have been too long for comfortable use: “‘A very nice well-spoken gentlebeardlessdwarf is Mr. Bilbo as I’ve always said’, the Gaffer declared.”
