Hobbity Research!
Sep. 7th, 2009 08:58 amA couple of weeks ago, I went to look up some names to use for OCs on the hobbit family trees in Peoples of Middle-earth. I ended up getting totally sidetracked by considering all those names, and it turned into a geeky, hobbity, non-fic project.
Well, my geeky, hobbity non-fic project is now up at Many Paths To Tread: Hobbit Names and Naming Conventions
It is an explanation of the various naming customs among hobbit families, the differences and similarities between various clans, as well as a comprehensive list of all hobbit surnames and hobbit first names, as found in The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, History of Middle-earth: Volume VI, Return of the Shadow, and History of Middle-earth: Volume XII, The Peoples of Middle-earth.
I really hope everyone will find it fun and useful, and that you will let me know what you think!
