My hobbit name is way cool. I may change my real name to Tigerlily Moss of Lake-by-Downs Elvish names are just not as cool. Tári Vardamir-- see? What sounds like a crossover Death-Eater name. I’m also a Daring Dark-Elf named Celebchamiel, a Dwarf with a name as hard as, well, as Káin Diamondpike and a geeky get beat up orc name Globdug the Meek. ---
