Goo knows what it did to the kids poor psycheI know some Tolkien geeks who named thier kids Aragorn, Eowyn, Eomer and IIRC Galadriel  -- Eowyn was a nice girl. This was before the current Tolkien Mania in the late 80's .  whats tough for the kids is that they were short and swarthy like Sothron Mumakil riders. Not cool I also know a Tarl Cabot  -- dad was a big Gor fan. The guy wasn't a big red head and I didn't get to visit the Towers of the Morning or get a slave girl either  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" /> just kidding -- thats a normalish name at least though only Gor Fans and some erm .alt folk will recognize it. If you aren't in either category it might be unwanted attention.Middle names aren't a big deal as 9 for 10 no one will hear the whole name--   I would not saddle my kids with an odd one though thats just me</blockquote>
