 Thank you all for your kindnes in overlooking my stupid mistake, i.e., that I plugged in the names of my male family members into the female Hobbitt-name-finder!  As usual, it was operator error (me). For the record, their "real" Hobbitt names are Hambut, Togo and Drogo Deepdelver of Brockingborings (much better).

Loamsdown must be a popular place. I'm simply Mungo Loamsdown.
I think I prefer translating Mr. Jazz Octopus better: Polo Tighfield of Tookbank.

Hmmm...I'm Drogo Broadbelt of Buckland. Personally, I really think I'm Snobdish Finklebroath of Dunny on the Wold ... 
The idiot also known as Capfka ...

I'm putting in famous people's names.
Our illustrious President is Squinty of Simpleton.
His predecessor-in-office was Todo Knotwise of Michel Delving.
I shall refrain from further comment.

...and I find I'm really Till Gamwich of the Bree Gamwiches. What a relief. At first I thought it was going to be Eulenspiegel.

I'm almost a Frodo to ask.

Sorry to revive a slightly old thread, but I've been away, and I loved this one.
My hobbit name, with my real name, is Mungo Knotwise of Whitfurrows - which I love, as I have a fascination with knots. Using my screen name (actually, the full latin name of the frog I'm named after), I get the lamentable Bingo Boggy-Hillocks.

I've noticed a tendency for real names to end in of Someplaceorother and for screen names not to. Any counter examples?
