The funny thing is, the names were all, letter-for-letter, blatantly stolen from Norse mythology... From the Poetic Edda:
9. Then sought the gods | their assembly-seats,
The holy ones, | and council held,
To find who should raise | the race of dwarfs
Out of Brimir's blood | and the legs of Blain.
10. There was Motsognir | the mightiest made
Of all the dwarfs, | and Durin next;
Many a likeness | of men they made,
The dwarfs in the earth, | as Durin said.
11. Nyi and Nithi, | Northri and Suthri,
Austri and Vestri, | Althjof, Dvalin,
Nar and Nain, | Niping, Dain,
Bifur, Bofur, | Bombur, Nori,
An and Onar, | Ai, Mjothvitnir.
12. Vigg and Gandalf) | Vindalf, Thrain,
Thekk and Thorin, | Thror, Vit and Lit,
Nyr and Nyrath,-- | now have I told--
Regin and Rathsvith-- | the list aright.
13. Fili, Kili, | Fundin, Nali,
Heptifili, | Hannar, Sviur,
Frar, Hornbori, | Fræg and Loni,
Aurvang, Jari, | Eikinskjaldi.
14. The race of the dwarfs | in Dvalin's throng
Down to Lofar | the list must I tell;
The rocks they left, | and through wet lands
They sought a home | in the fields of sand.
15. There were Draupnir | and Dolgthrasir,
Hor, Haugspori, | Hlevang, Gloin,
Dori, Ori, | Duf, Andvari,
Skirfir, Virfir, | Skafith, Ai.
The holy ones, | and council held,

Cool - two-weapon ranger and archer ranger.
Fili and Kili tend to be the most active dwarves in the book - or at least, as the youngest, they're the ones everyone else delegates to. At least, when they can't delegate to Bilbo.
Heres a pic of Bofur Bombur and Bifur:

Those pictures look great guys. Thanks for posting. I'm looking forward to this, even though I'm a bit sceptical. It's not that I don't know if they will let this stay the children novel that The Hobbit is or if they will greatly mature the content and focus more on the action (for example having the Dwarves fight the goblin in the Misty Mountains instead of getting caught right away). The question is whether or not I will be alright with the latter one.
But I may be wrong.
