Very informative thread.
And you claim to be an intellectual.
I read Tolkien's complete works before I was out of middle school.
That includes the stuff his son attempted to finish.
ah, a scholar and a gentleman
I was trying to figure that out myself, you just saved me an hour of fruitlesness
morgoth killed them both, but it was fingolfin that damaged morgoth
And I thought I was bad.... oh and for the record pagy is good but he is no C_F!!!

Ah, I forget. A lot of those names are easy to mix up. Finrod, Fingolfin, Finfarin, Findis, Finwe, Feanor, Hurin, Turin, Huor, and so on. Fucking tongue twisters
edit: to swenmeber...mostly stolen from various european mythologies.

Yeah, if I remember correctly he was a big fan of norse mythology in particular
I am almost certain most dwarf names are all norse based.. I think each race represents different mythologies.
And smite everyone in it with one swing from his mighty claymore!

Funny thing I found while reading Tolkien. I've never met another person called Dain, but after I read the hobbit I'm convinced my dad was a LOTR or Nordic freak when he named me.
