boy to all his potential schoolmates :)'
"My reply: Celeborn is awful.  As with Galadrial....but I still kind 
of like the name..lol...maybe for a pet or something.."

--They aren't bad names, but I'd name my cat after a LOTR character 
before any child that happens to come along. Imagine being Bilbo...I 
mean seriously. But I do like Meradoic 'cause Merry is nice, and so 
is Pippin...what about Aragorn? That's not so bad. 

I don't think I'd want to be named *Harry*...

I'm not altogether sure why me parents named me Scott, although I 
suspect it might have something to do with their love of Scotland 
(is that really obvious?). Incidentally our family *is* Scottish, 
but I don't think that was the reason, per se.

It's odd because I've always been the only Scott I've known, though 
I have met several others in passing it's not a common name at least 
in this area.

Are there any other Scott's on this list I wonder? I'm sure there 
*are*, but I can't think of any.

Who remembers when this girl in his 1st or 2nd grade class (can't 
remember which) changed her name to Leslie Leslie. After that 
everyone wanted to change their names too...I for some reason, 
perhaps I was possessed, decided I wanted to be "Obie Denby" for 
years...luckily my parents had *some* sense.
