Hi and welcome to the downs. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
A topic of this nature would be more welcome in 'Middle-Earth mayhem' or 'Novices and Newcomers', try searching for it.

I re-named our neighbours cat into Gandalf... only unfortunaty it“s a girl-cat, so now she“s Sindawen (grey girl).
If I had a pet, I“d go for Lśthien and Arwen for cats, Eowyn, Pippin or Strider for dogs and Sam for a pony (if I wanted one, which I don“t...)

my cats are called Gandalf and elentari (also known as gollum)
we have 7... 10... 12 spiders i think... they are named after actors, with a few random characters thrown in: Karl Urban (resident mum- named karl cos didnt realise it was sprouting kids at the time) Karl Jr. Haldir (who climbed out of the window and never came back) John Noble (plays denethor for those of u who havent memorised the cast list as i have) Aragorn Boromir David Wenham (i hope u all know he plays Faramir!) then theres Craig Parker (haldir) under the mantlepiece, Marton Csokas (celeborn) on the stairs, Miranda Dourif and Brad Bernard, who are drawing pins turned honourary spiders (dont ask...), and i think i named the kitchen one Faramir... and Yorgi lives in my room (unrelated to lotr) if i had a horse id name it... something that i cant remember....

My fish is Frodo, and the two cats, well, we got them before I'd even heard about LotR (uh, same with the fish, but I can rename him it's not like he anseweres when I call him by his name or anything...), and, so, my cats aren't named after any LotR characters 'cause they're too attached to their names... But I would have called them Pippin and Merry!

I had two little hamsters called Merry and Pippin, who acted really in their characters until Merry ate Pippin. Now THAT I would love to see in the movie!

We got all of our pets before I saw LOTR, but if I get a grey horse, his name will be Gandalf.
This isn't a pet, but I'm naming my 68 Mustang Shadowfax. I'm gonna paint it white with the blackout headlights.

I don't have any pets, but my aunt had two cats named Bilbo and Frodo. Also, my dad named his french horn Gandalf and my uncle called his '76 Cougar Gollum!

im going to get a jack russell terrier and name it Pippin, if i get two itll be Pippin and Merry, and im going to get a cat and name it Elbereth...thats such a catlike name, practically ALL elven/valar names are. And of course if I get a pony it will be called Bill, and if i get a horse it will be called Shadowfax/Brego/Hasufel/Arod depending on what colour it is.
BTW, Gimli and Legolas ride on a horse called Arod. At least they do in the books, im not sure about the movie. [ February 05, 2003: Message edited by: Horse-Maiden of the Shire ]

Well,not quite the same, but my cat, Simba, is now known as Shinyhouse, because a couple of years ago i had just read the silmarillion, and theres a dictionary of elvish in the back, and i noticed
Silm : Shiny Bar: House... And it was so damn stupid that it stuck...

We named a basset-beagle Thorin Oakenshield, once. But after all-out war against him for a month and a half, and ruined rugs, we returned him to the pound. Stiffnecked dwarf! Ruined rugs!! We then got a lab-greyhound who was downright angelic. I wanted to name her "Angelina" but hubby said no. We compromised, and "Lena" won out.
We haven't done any middle-earth pet-names since. Thorin was NOT a good precedent...

My very first cat strayed into my life the same year I first read LOTR, so naturally had to be named Frodo. (His sister, however, got a very non-Tolkien name of Prudence) They were some sort of Maine Coon Cat/tabby mix with long hair--unfortunately, when the boarding school year ended I was told I couldn't bring them back, and my parents wouldn't let me keep them because my father was (allegedly) allergic to them. The semi-happy ending was that my WONDERFUL aunt (for whom I was named) placed them in a no-kill animal shelter near San Diego and they were adopted. But Frodo did live up to his name in that we said goodbye before I was ready...Since my current menagerie allhave non-ME names, I am plugging them into the Name Generator so they, too, can participate in RPGs and internet forums [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].

Maybe I will re-name my fish Beren or something. Right now his name is Simon, but, alas, that is not a Tolkien name. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Beren the goldfish. Sounds good to me. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

In one week I'm getting an 8-week old grey Netherland Dwarf rabbit, whom I've decided to name Pip. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Since he is a Dwarf rabbit (hey Gimli! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]), he won't get much bigger than two pounds, and Pip is short for Pipsqueak and of course Pippin [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] . He's so adorable and loves to cuddle and look around from your shoulder.

I used to have a dog named Pippin and one named Beren. Right now I don't have any LotR dogs. (unless there is an Angelo somewhere that I overlooked [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] )

I intend to have a pony called Pippin, or Pip, when I'm older. Odd that such a sweet name comes from the name of a falcon- a Peregrin.

Oddly enough, Aman, the word/name Pippin can mean 'apple' or 'a highly admired or very admirable person or thing.' Just another useless tidbit! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Also, Pip is a disease of fowl that is like Bronchitis.

My pet is a cute little tortoise called AGATHA. My daughter chose that name for her, as her shell looks like some of my agate earrings; as simple as that. Never thought of giving her any Tolkien-related name.
Just the other day re-reading 'Farmer Gilles' I discovered that Agatha was the name of the Farmer's wife, probably as placid and round a lady as my dear tortoise. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Well, naturally my semi non-exsistant hamster's name is Frodo. I've also named the voices in my head, Smeagol, Deagol, Gollum, Merry, Pippin, Frodalf, Frippin, and Mippin.. the rest are currently unnamed as they don't talk that often.

Wow it has been a really long time since I last posted! * bows to every one (old and new members alike)*
I don't have a pet named after a character, however, I do have a daughter that bears the name Lalaith. It is elvish for laughter [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] because she makes Aulė and I laugh. This is a cute thread! Welcome to all those who are new hope you enjoy your haunting experience!! -(~(~> Yavanna

If I ever go another horse that was young enough to rename I would name it Narfaroth which is elvish for Fire Hunt.

I might be getting two new kittens and they are SO going to be Elrond and Elros. Only, my mother might not let me name them because I named our other cat. (Tobias - this was ages before I found LotR!) So then it'll have to be their nicknames...
