What is it with Tolkien folk wanting to have four names, one of which is really a phrase, not a name.

What do you mean?

Are you a book fan or just a movie fan? Movie fans would only know folk had two or so names... Book fans know more.

Gandalf, Mithrandir, The Grey Pilgrim, Stormcrow, Tharkun, Incanus

Aragorn, Strider, Elessar, Estel, Thorongil....


Tolkien had a thing about everything having four names minimum.
