Our theme for May is "Names". Thanks to Charli800 for suggesting it.
"What his right name is I've never heard: but he's known round here as Strider." ButterBur, FOTR
Strider was known by many names, as was Gandalf. How did they get them? What did they mean? Perhaps other characters come to mind?
Your story could also be about the impact of a name. Gondorians often bore names out of history. Boromir I received a Morgul-wound in battle. He died only 12 years into his Stewardship. Did our Boromir feel a 'shadow' from his naming? Did he share his trepidation with Aragorn or Legolas?
What about choosing a name for a child? According to LACE, Elven infants sometimes received 'names of insight'. Is that how Legolas' name was decided?
Perhaps it's about naming a fear. What fears do you think our heroes struggle to conquer – or to hide?
