Dog Names Lord of the Rings: Inspiration for Nerdy Owners.
Okay, so I've been thinking about getting a new puppy, and I'm a HUGE "Lord of the Rings" fan. Naturally, I started brainstorming dog names based on the books and movies. It's a tough decision, so I figured I'd document the whole process.
First, I grabbed my copy of "The Fellowship of the Ring" and started flipping through it, looking for inspiration. I also pulled up some character lists online. I mean, where else do you start, right?
I immediately ruled out some names. Like, "Sauron" for a puppy? No way. Too evil. And "Gollum" just sounds... creepy. I want my dog to be friendly and approachable, not sound like he's going to steal my precious ring!
Then, I made a list of potential names. Here's what I came up with:
- Frodo: Classic, but maybe a little too obvious?
- Samwise (Sam): Loyal and brave, a good fit for a good boy.
- Pippin: For a fun, maybe slightly mischievous pup.
- Merry: Similar to Pippin, cheerful and adventurous.
- Aragorn: Strong and noble, good for a larger breed.
- Legolas: Graceful and athletic. Maybe for a greyhound?
- Gimli: For a sturdy, maybe short-legged dog.
- Gandalf: Wise and powerful, but maybe a bit much for a little dog. I could shorten to "Gray", maybe.
- Bilbo: Another hobbit that could fit well.
I also considered some female names:
- Arwen: Beautiful and elegant.
- Galadriel: Majestic, but again, maybe a bit grand.
- Eowyn: For a brave and strong female dog.
- Rosie:Like Rosie Cotton,Sam's wife.
Narrowing It Down
After listing everything, I started to narrow it down based on what kind of dog I think I want. If I get a golden retriever, "Samwise" feels right. If I end up with a smaller, spunkier dog, "Pippin" might be the winner. And, If I adopt, I'll need to see the dogs,get to know their personalities.
For now, it's still up in the air,Need to do some more thinking – and maybe re-watch the movies for "research" purposes, of course! I think that's the best approach.
