I had a friend at high school called Rohan. Everyone assumed it was spelled Rowan (as usual) but I saw it written down one day and asked him if his parents were fans. Turned out to be a coincidence alas.
I think you could have gotten away with a lot of the names from lotr before the films came out, but now I think to many people know.

I wish my name could b Galadriel or Haerodiel (incase u r wondering, I got that name from a web site that gave u an elvish name, and I have stuck with it) but they wouldn't work 2 well, in today's world, or would they? ![;)](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/Hannah22/Fourm/wink.gif)

Here, in Slovakia, we have names in a calendar (1 day - 1 or 2 names) and people usually use them. Any other names, which are not in calendars are not exactly slovak names - people sometimes use the so, but then it is strange. So if I want to call my child "Arwen" or something like that and don't want to look like a fool, I have to live abroad. ![::)](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/Hannah22/Fourm/eyeballs.gif) Oh, well. BTW: If you wanna know, my name is Romana (in Latin it means "Coming from Roma")

Well, not idiot, per ce. More like "half wisdom," which I think suits Sam. He knows he's not wise enought to handle great matters like Gandalf and Frodo. But he does what he can. Which is why we love him. Elen sila lumenn omentielvo, Lomadia

Yesterday my friend told me that if I want my child to have some name which is not in the "List of Slovak national names", I have to pay a lot of money. What do you think of that?

Erm... Did I offend YOU? I swear I didn't mean to. ![:(](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/Hannah22/Fourm/sad.gif) I just thought it would be interesting for You... I'm sorry for my grammar fault. It's because English is not my national language, I am just learning it & I'm trying to practise it this way. ![;)](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/Hannah22/Fourm/wink.gif)

I don't think it's that weird for a government to put control on naming. I certainly wouldn't defend it, but it doesn't surprise me. Technically, I'm supposed to name my children after saints, since I am a Roman Catholic. I'm not sure if I plan on doing that, though. However, the list of Catholic saints is probably much longer that the list of Slovak national names. Some of my favorite names are: Boys Stephen Simon Thomas Octavian (hey- that's a good, strong name!) Peter Girls: Catherine Cassandra Hermione Ophelia Elinor Prudence Hester (I've just finished The Scarlet Letter
