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

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Ffs take my upvote and get out
Gonedor is still there after the trilogy, but yeah Moredoor need more door.
Hold the door!
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…
I’m guessing it’s Elrond
Oh yeah, that makes sense. It's quite a stretch, pronunciation-wise, but it fits the characterisation…
Allround was always around
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
I think Cullum (cull) would fit too
I wouldn't be surprised if this is actually how Tolkien came up with those names.
I would.
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)
