In Peter Jackson's Hobbit movies, he added a character that did not appear in the book. Tauriel was an elf, and the captain of Thranduil's guard.
Clare's insight:
Read more about this name here; and did you know that Tauriel was one of the highest-debuting girls' names in the US in 2014?

I first saw this in the movie The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug. In the movie she was a character created for the movie and not in the book. I really came to like this character.

"This is a fictional name made for Tolkien’s middle earth. So I am pretty sure you can’t use this for a novel character but again I saw this name on someone’s list for their future child’s name."
Clare's insight:
If you have to borrow a name from Middle-Earth, you could do worse than this.

Clare's insight:
A rather random mixed bag from ancient and modern mythology. But, you, know, it's nice to be reminded of some of these names. Cassandra, Danaé, Daphne, Gwendoline, Elenna, Ludmilla; Olwë, Oromé, Elwing (wasn't she female?), Elros, Cyrion and Calixte.
