So, it turns out JRR Tolkien was just Tolkien out his Rs.

Ringrights just want to return the ring to it's right owner.

Killum wants to kill the hobbits

Tom Bummerdeal won't help them carry the ring despite it having no effects on him

[-] JayGray91@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

I think Cullum (cull) would fit too

I'm trying to work out who Hellround is. The best I can come up with is Halbrand, from the Rings of Power TV show. But that's not Tolkien…

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 24 points 1 year ago

I’m guessing it’s Elrond

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah, that makes sense. It's quite a stretch, pronunciation-wise, but it fits the characterisation…

[-] untorquer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Allround was always around

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't be surprised if this is actually how Tolkien came up with those names.

Deneither stayed in his den all the time and either wanted Boromir back or Faramir dead

Eyyomare had an eyyo moment astride a mare

Lurks was lurking in the trees

Gloryfindelf was an elf that had the glory of finding the party

Halldear was dear to Heiragorn and stopped the Fellowship at the hall of Lothlorien

Celfeborn was born of elves

Lazy? I call it smart. Still trying to name things like Tolkien did (I am failing)
