Most of the names from Tolkien are taken from old Norse mythology (there's a wonderful segment from, I think, the Elder Edda which is listing the people attending a feast, including such names as Gandalf, Thorin, Durin and others.). I can track down the references if anybody really cares. David Kaufman
