frodo

Maggot lives west of the Brandywine, remained there when Frodo left, and never even knew that Frodo would be leaving the Shire.

Some of them, particularly those that Sam and Frodo cross as they enter Mordor, are quite sympathetic characters.

It's hard to talk about machines named Bart or Spock or Frodo without getting a little embarrassed (IMO).

Later, it is mentioned that Bombadil already had messages from Gildor that Frodo & co were going through the forest.

At least one other hobbit has been described as knowing Bombadil--that is Farmer Maggot (the one Frodo used to steal mushrooms from).

In Lord of the Rings, these patronymics are played with in names such as Aragorn son of Arathorn and Frodo son of Drogo.

Bill Gates as Bilbo and Larry Page as Frodo is terrifying.

James Bond can thus be trademarked, in the same way that Harry Potter, Frodo Baggins, Sherlock Holmes, et al are trademarked.

Truth to be told I was extremely fascinated by the fact that the first character Frodo encountered in his journey was T.

Even after that, I'd argue that Frodo is only made interested through his posession of the one ring, not anything about himself.

On your flimsy operating systems, you can create directories (folders) and give them names like Frodo or My Stuff and put them pretty much anywhere you like.

Even Bilbo and Frodo themselves struggle with this.

Similarly, I might want a character to take the name "Frodo Baggins", to imply loyalty and perseverance.

His "(first) Three Laws of Fanfiction," for example, list these rules: You can't make Frodo a Jedi unless you give Sauron the Death Star.

This is addressed in the article: "Now, in his conversation with Frodo, Bombadil implies (but avoids directly stating) that he had heard of their coming from Farmer Maggot and from Gildor’s elves (both of whom Frodo had recently described).

He arrives precisely when he means to," and my Frodo a hairy-footed fellow of diminutive stature with an extra-special ring, I'd better have had permission from the Tolkien estate, or a lot of money to burn on lawyers and fines.

Frodo is able to master and relinquish the ultimate power of the ring; Sam (the true lord) is never even touched by it.

Surely consciousness doesn't require an observer to look at the atoms bouncing around in the computer to decide that they are simulation of Frodo.

For example, I could totally write a story that had characters named Gandalf and Frodo.
