I suppose it's some kind of Jamaican name. But still, sharing names with a land can't be too fun...  _________________

Wow! I'll be sure to visit both Gimli and Entwhistle after I'm all grown up and my career as a novelist is on a roll!!
Also, I think Rohan is kind of a cool name!

Well, it's a pretty common name actually... I have a friend named Rohan. And I think many South Asian lads have that name as well.
Edinburgh in Scotland is also called Dunedin.

Yeah, and there was a Battle of Brandywine at some point or other.
I want to live in Entwhistle. It's such a cool name. _________________ <center>

The people that settled the town of Gimli were Icelandic settlers that left Iceland in the 17 or 1800s, after a bout of sheep flu, and very large volcanic eruptions on Iceland. They named the place Gimli, which means "Home of the Gods" in Icelandic or Norse. Every year they host the Icelandic games, and do traditional Icelandic sport and dance.
Just though i'd share that.
Oh and there's another little town called Entwhistle. *giggles*
Oh, that's awesome!
ENTWHISTLE! *stifles laughter* I like that one even better. I can see it now, Treebeard whistling...  _________________

woahhh... I think that Tolkien used the names. and that he still knew it.
but if some people can make a village, city or street with a middle earth name... why can't we start then a new land... called middle earth (I know... I am crazy and stupid )

Okay, I'm okay. I'd be all like, "Okay, this should be interesting? Is Galadriel going to pop out from somewhere?"
