Fantasy names?

[sursumcorda.livejournal.com]

One of my regular guests at work is a little girl named Arwen. Thoughts?

I think a name like that is something you can get away with because it's not super crazy "out there" or too fantasy-ish, you know? Although I do have a friend who had to convince her friend not to name her child Frodo.

Personally if I were going to pull a female name from LOTR it would probably be Eowyn, Arwen really isn't much of a presence in the books. Obviously that's not the point of the post though. You're right Arwen is a pretty safe choice to pull from a fantasy story.
