For fun: Have any pets named after any LotR characters?

[Marille]

Yes, yes, yes I know its a cheezy question. But do any of you have any pets named after any LotR characters? And if not, what would you name your pet?

I don't have any but one day I think I should like to get a cat and name it Gandalf, and it'd have to be a grey cat of course LOL. If not Gandalf then maybe Legolas. :cool:

[Banazir]

Hehe, I once had four kittens named Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin. Frodo was the cutest one, with grey fur, the rest were white. Then my mom gave them away, because she couldn't stand so many cats in the house.

My sister has a cat named Eowyn. (Her roommate named it.(

[truffleoreocookie]

I have a cat named Pippin...he is brown and white...and is sitting in my lap.:)

[kennebecc]

I once had a big orange long haired cat by the name of Pippin Took. The name fit him quite well. He certainly got into plenty of mischief and suffered misadventures. He loved to eat and sleep. He was an outdoors cat, but he really wanted to be inside most of the time. Guess he thought going out meant sitting in the window looking out. But, he did prowl around, and was always bringing 'treasures' home. Unfortunately, he got hit by a truck, survived, but lost one of his enormous green eyes. He than begame Pippin Took, with the ONE eye. Always spooky to see him out at night with that one glowing eye. He was a great cat.

We have a small dog named Bilbo. He was a stray and we thought the name fit him well because he is tough, lucky and loves food. :) I also think it would be cool to have a dog named Huan after Huan in the Silmarillion.

[KGamgee]

I know somebody who has a cat named Mithrandir and he posts stuff in here sometimes.

[Eruviel Greenleaf]

If I had a cat I would name it Legolas! Or Arwen or Eowyn if it were a female. . .But alas! For I have only a snake, which I named way before I read the books (maybe I'll change it someday. . .he won't care!)

[Legolas]

I see some of you like Legolas for a cat's name... Meow! Meow! Meow!
I would do this too. Well, I have a kitten, but I call him Mithrandir because his fur is grey.

I had a black cat who was dumped by its owners because it had the cat flew and one eye was badly damaged. When we got it it was very ill and skinny and a total wreck. I called him Smeagol and he turned out one very smart and lovable little fellow. A really wonderful pet. Some bastard shot him one day just for fun, that was 20 years ago but I can remmeber that day clearly, I never did catch the bastard.
Also had a great cat called Pippin, he was always up to mischief. Have one now called Amarie (a Vanyarin elf beloved of Finrod), she is very old now and doesn't move about much. Also had another cat way back in the past who was called Alfirin ( a flower of middle earth).

i used to have two dogs named Beren & Luthien (m & f ofcourse), but two years ago Luthien jumped off the the gate and never returned and Beren died three months after.. :(

[Ñólendil]

I have a guinea pig named Fredegar (or Fatty) Bolger. He's an enormous Long-haired Tri-coloured English cavy, all brown and black and white. He never exercises really, I put him in his exercise ball but he only stands still and tries to eat the sides.

[Renille]

I want to re-name my cat Sauron. He's certainly looks evil enough for that!:p

[Lyrian Aryns]

I had a friend who called their cat Saruman, though I never knew why since I hadn't read the books then...
Legolas is a nifty name for a cat, though I also named all six of mine before I read Lotr. :\

[ringbearer]

I had a dog named Gandalf about 20 years ago.(sigh)

Our current dog(friend, family member) is named...Poochbutt!:D

Really!:)

Welcome to the Moot, Graham, Lyrian Aryns, Lord_Ov_The_Thunder, Eruviel Greenleaf, Vanimdil, and an especial welcome to my fellow coloradan, trullfeoreocookie!

As for pets named after Tolkien characters, our big Persian Blue kitty-cat, who is slate-grey, had the name "Gandalf" when we adopted him from the Humane Society. We renamed him, however, you gotta choose a cat's name for yourself, to match his personality.

However, as for fish, I have four jewel cichlids named "Feanor", "FINgolFIN", Finrod Felagund, and Rosie. I've had a couple of plecostomi named "Gollum" over the years, and a chipoke named "Sauron"...and a few years back, a marine grey poma angel named "Morgoth".

[Sakata]

My cats name is, well, was Eowyn, I found her (what was left of her ) yesterday, after the coyotes had got her at night...I died with her that night :(

Preciousss (with three esses)

[bropous]

Sakata, breaks my heart to hear that about your kitty, and I hope you are able to get past your grief soon, but I know it is a hard thing to deal with a loss like that. My deepest empathy.

[athelas]

We have two fish which I named Faramir and Eowyn. Our hamster is not named after any LoTR character though.(It's called Jinx)

[Earniel]

I had a cat called Niënor, we called him so because my other cat , Savik(not Tolkien-related) had been run over and I was crying all day. Sadly Niënor or Norrie as we often called him was run over too, not far from where Savik died. Sigh I miss the black little buggers... Our current feline residents are called Smaug (a female) and Jinx (not Tolkien-related, just because he's black and with a name like that I hoped we would live longer) :(

[Sakata]

I appriciate your empathy Bropous, fortunatly I am a quick emotial healer and am pretty much back to my old self, but with the death of Eowyn means this spring I get a new kittin that I am even now coming up with a name for, I was thinking of Faywin, but I would like somthing from lotr, hm... did Eowyn ever have a daughter?

[bropous]

I'm not really sure, Sakata, whether Eowyn had a daughter, although I'm leaning to her not having had one. Good to see you are healing quickly!

I went to college with a guy everyone called Gollum--does that count? Sometimes he decided he was actually a feathered woman named Avanti. There were far stranger people at my college...
