No, Turgon.
Celebrex was the 2nd son of Isordil (by his wife Feldene). Mevacor was of that line too. But he fell into dispute with Indocin, and sailed off to the Islets of Langerhans.
My college roommate was named Eowyn. Only her parents didn’t quite catch the accent mark in the books, and pronounced it “Yo-win.”
Were they hot? Did they all fawn over your replica of Anduril and promise their undying love?
He sailed to a pancreas? I call bullshit.
I went to college with an Arwen. Well, her and I were in the same year, and I saw her picture in the meetbook*, and met her once. She was surprised that I recognized the name.
Personally, I think that things like this are what middle names are for. Call your kid John or Mary or something else inconspicuous, but then go wild on the middle name. That way, if the kid thinks it’s cool, he or she can take pride in it, but if not, it’s easy enough to not make it public.
*A book with names, pictures, and majors of all the new freshmen. More commonly called the “meatbook”, as in “fresh meat”.
I met an Eowyn once. She was around my age or a little younger, so probably born late '70s / early 80s.
Unless the kid turns out to be a sumo wrestler.
Hee hee hee…
I have friends who named two of their children Jean-Luc (boy, Star Trek) and Chani (girl, Dune).
Yeep.
In the city I live in there is a housing addition called Rivendell. All of the streets, streams, etc are named after places in Lord of the Rings. I’d love to live there if it was located on my side of town.
You know, I just love hanging out at a place where jokes can combine The Sillmarillion and the Physician’s Desk Reference. Well done.
Personally, if I had the name mentioned in the OP, my nametag would say “T. Oakenshield [whatever].” People could ask me all the time what my first initial stands for, and I’d carry around reprints of “An Unexpected Party” to hand them.
That’s kinda cool, if you ask me. You pretty much have to name the streets after something, right?
I once (many years back) met a retired lawyer named Donald E. Duck. He was a teenager when Walt Disney made his name into a laughingstock… can you imagine?
My first proper job was for a company that had a pretty significant proportion of the UK population on one of the databases, and given the mind-numbing nature of the job, and human nature, I can confirm that there are quite a few Donald Ducks out there - and, fantastically, at least one Daffyd Duck.
I trust nobody missed the irony that it was Elendil’s Heir who met Thorin Oakenshield.
It would be doubly ironic if this took place at Spock’s Bar and Grill, in Akron, which actually does exist – or at least did in 1988 when we got detoured off an interstate past it. And while ‘Spock’ is an unusual but not exceedingly rare surname (cf. Dr. Benjamin), having Spock’s Bar in the city famous for vulcanizing rubber is another small bit of irony.
My dad went to school with a guy named Pete… last name Rabbit.
Yep.
The British comedian Bill Bailey named his son Dax.
I dunno. That’s how we’ve always considered it, maybe traditionally speaking you’re right.
Then again, what about Kings and Popes? They don’t need direct succession to add some roman-numeral soup to their name. Isn’t that where the whole thing started anyway?
I once met a man who mentioned his daughter was named Minuet.
“Are you a fan of classical music or of Star Trek?” I asked.
“Very few people catch that,” he replied. 
Oh well. I suppose one can do worse than being named after that particular holographic pleasure-babe…
As someone else pointed out the PDR would have been helpful for this.
I was once on Feldene, but I didn’t know she was married.
Gladys might work out as a diminuative.
Brian
We named our daugher ‘Shelby’ - after Riker’s competition in ‘Best of Both Worlds’. Almost no one catches it. Right around that same time, the name got semi-popular because of a role Julia Roberts did (‘Steel Magnolias’, IIRC). Mr. Ogg and I both have relatives who still think it’s from that.
It’s all the fault of the GEnie BBS Star Trek forums, which we were quite active on at the time. Heh.
