Post subject:  Modernized LotR Names
Well, I got this idea from reading the 'Nicknames for Characters' Thread, and I though I'd post it.

Have you ever thought of what names LotR characters would if they lived in the present day? Here are some of my examples:

Elrond: The closest that I can think of is Ronald... But then everyone would be calling him that silly red-haired white-faced McDonald's clown... So maby just Ron. :)

Aragorn: The closest I got was something on the lines of Aaron... Or something...

Legolas: This one was hard. Very hard. There are very few names starting with L that wouldn't prevoke a thought such as 'LUKE SKYWALKER!!!!' so, yeah... Lee.... Silly, I know...

Elladan: Well, I would take the 'Dan' part of his name and make that into Daniel.

Elrohir: Again, another hard one... I suppose it would be Robert... I don't know though.

Anyway, those are just some of my examples... Do you have any?

This is a good idea! I can't think of any, but I'll try...

Pippin=Phillip (yes that was only because I'm reading 'Great Expectations'.)

Meriadoc=Marc, maybe?

Galadriel=Gabrielle, perhaps.

Gimli=Gilmore? Gilbert?

Eomer=Edmund?

Well, that's all for now. My suggestion: look at babynames.com
