Names

My Dearest Kendrah,

It was so good to hear from you! Things have been pretty busy here...Our first show opens tomorrow night and the usual insanity has erupted. I mentioned the naming issue to Aragorn and he went to work to find what he considered "appropriate" names. He's very concerned about the appropriateness of names. Below is his list. He's given the meanings for many of them (Though they look suspiciously like the meanings given in the Encyclopedia of Arda http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/). Most of them appear to be First or Second Age Elves and Edain, but a few are more modern. We hope your moher is able to find something acceptable.

Must run off to a staff meeting. I will talk to you soon!

Your Affectionate Friend,
Corwynne
