I knew there had to be a Tolkien explanation. I took the cheap route and used the Barrow Downs Name Generator.

You would be most welcome to stop by The Hobbit Hole from time to time. We have less to discuss now that the movies are all out in extended format. But we're a friendly group.

...sigh...

I used to be at TolkienOnline, which began as a good, Christian Tolkienic website. It was also relatively erudite, but that attracted others, whose delusional posts basically drove out anyone of any kind of common sense. It is a difficulty in many cybersites: there is no way to simply say: "That idea is insane." as it is almost certainly a TOS violation. Sort of like getting a cheap shot on the playing field, answering in kind and being the one who gets the flag thrown in penalty. So stupid, even dangerous and immoral ideas drive out sensible, reasonable sane ones (how do you argue with someone who can simply refuse to acknowledge reality and have dozens of side-boys to chime in with "me too so shut up you" posts).

As I say...sigh...
