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 ...

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.

Mungo Knotwise of Whitfurrows

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?
