I love all the Anglo-Saxon/Anglo-Saxon derived (AKA Rohirric) names right off the bat: Theoden, Theodred, Eothain, Eomer, Eowyn, Unferth, Hama, Grimbold, Gamling.... Heck, I even like the ones that aren't supposed to be people: Guthwine....

On a related note, Gandalf, Dain, Durin... a lot of Tolkien-names aren't actually originally Tolkien, so you could attempt to argue that you're naming the kid after some ancient mythical hero, not a LotR character.

Actually... 

[AD runs off to find a copy of The Poetic Edda, then starts thumbing through the index]

Hey, Dain.  :lol:
Dís is one of the non-original ones. It means something along the lines of "Angel" or "(Female) Guardian Spirit." Plural is Dísir, since it's not originally supposed to be a name, but whatever. It's actually not a bad name, IMHO. :P

Nerd...

Hey, just for the record, I really did have to find my copy of the Edda and check the index to find that out. :P
