Not him either.

I am wondering now if the clue is a little too vague. I can alter it or add more hints if you find you're working with too many possibilities.

Am I in right time period at least

With Sauron? Seeing as he existed from the start of the First Age until the end of the Third Age... yes, I suppose you are right, the answer is somewhere in between those time points.

Then let me rephrase: is the answer in the Third Age?

List of villains in Arda

Morgoth: Feanor named him that, so not him.
Sauron: You said no to this.
Gothmog: No.
Ungoliant: No
Saruman: He fits the first part, but not the second part.

You said no to Kings of Numenor.

Who else is left?

Well, I suppose Turin would fit.....if he were a villain.....and if anyone else shared one of the names he gave himself.....

That's a very short list.
And not all bad guys are necessarily villains.

Don't look for villains who share names with goodies. The shared aspect that I had in mind writing the clue is not the character's name.

Well, Smeagol is the bad guy who technically named himself, Gollum Gollum. And his friend and 'good counterpart' was Deagol.

If this one is incorrect too, then I'd appreciate a hint or two. Can't speak for Huey, though.
