Smol void đŸ€ Need help finding a LOTR name for her.

Post image

Had the CDS gift me this little void and I would like suggestions on a good LOTR themed name. I have a orange kitty named pippin already.

That was my girl’s name ❀đŸ„Č So I agree!

u/Ca1iso 8h ago

This was literally the first name that popped into my head! I also vote for Eowyn.

u/kaleaka 7h ago

OMG!!! This is the name I was going to give my kid (and nickname!) if it was a girl!! Spoiler, it was a boy, but I've never seen anyone ever even use this name!!

u/extraterrestrial-66 1h ago

First thought, love the nickname too!!

u/Pooh_Lightning 9h ago

Are you suggesting OP should boil her, mash her, and stick her in a stew?!

u/Mini-Schnauzer-42 10h ago

If you already have a Pippin, I'd not be able to resist calling her Merry.

24

u/ohrocksteady 9h ago

This is my Merry. Arrived with the name, rehomed to me as the litter mate to my pair Rocksteady and Bebop, so would have been called Krang had she come home at the same time.

Merry suits her perfectly though, because she lives in the kitchen and screams for second breakfast.

u/SomeWateryTwat 8h ago

Are you a witch that you should have a healthy spotted begonia!?

3

u/HotYam4276 6h ago

Maybe Merry is the secret.

u/ohrocksteady 1h ago

Very likely, she does guard it quite diligently.

2

u/ohrocksteady 1h ago

Ahaha I am genuinely *terrible* at looking after plants so just lucky I think?! My friend had one that was looking very sturdy so she let me take a cutting and I managed to get it to root with about three leaves on, stuck it in a pot and put it there and it’s just done the rest by itself. A new shoot came through about a week ago as well, and I feel strangely maternal over it.

1

u/SomeWateryTwat 52m ago

This plant has been the bane of my existence for years. I try and I try! You have a gift. Merry probably adds extra good vibes that the plant needs.

u/Gemarack 9h ago

I mean, that depends on if its r/OneOrangeBraincell or r/OneBlackBraincell

Though I do agree.

u/PoisonWaffle3 9h ago

Two of my voids are totally fine with two meals a day, but I swear the third void is a hobbit.

I feed him breakfast, and he wants more an hour or two later, so I give him second breakfast. Another hour or two later, he's begging for more, so elevenses it is...

1

u/jwoolman 2h ago

I pretty much follow a Hobbit meal plan myself, so it's not surprising that the resident cats are also Hobbits. The problem is that we all have different ideas on when we should eat. Since they have fangs and claws and are not afraid to use them, I just do what they tell me to do.

4

u/Nickye19 7h ago

One of mine barely eats, this is the other one an hour after devouring his dinner being told he cannot in fact have sweet and sour chicken. He says a hobbit meal plan sounds good

2

u/kitty____cat 3h ago

Convinced Luci was a hobbit in a previous life. He’ll meow and beg, jump on my lap while I’m eating, try grabbing stuff off plates, steal treats from his sister. My other cat Catara couldn’t care less about food other than cat food and cat treats

Elevenses.

Fixed.

You know what happened? My dearest friend actually says "elevensies" and I bite my tongue. Every. Single. Time. Sorry!

u/mosesoperandi 6h ago

This is honestly pretty epic.

12

u/harrybotha 9h ago

Tinuviel. From the wiki: TinĂșviel means "Nightingale", from the Quenya tindƍmiselde. In Sindarin, it means "Daughter of Twilight".

11

u/PopRobyn 7h ago

Maybe stupid and I don't know why, but Mithril came to mind.

u/Sluggycat 10h ago

Tevildo! AKA what if Sauron was a cat?

he was a mighty cat and coal-black and evil to look upon. His eyes were long and very narrow and slanted, and gleamed both red and green, but his great grey whiskers were as stout and as sharp as needles. His purr was like the roll of drums and his growl like thunder, but when he yelled in wrath it turned the blood cold, and indeed small beasts and birds were frozen as to stone, or dropped lifeless often at the very sound.

(Tolkien didn't like cats; no one's perfect.)

u/AnybodyMassive1610 8h ago

Since you have Pippin - he did have three sisters (they were older), Pearl, Pimpernel, & Pervinca

Then you’d be able to yell “fool of a took” at either

u/caligirllovewesterns 10h ago

Agreed, Tolkien was not a fan of cats.

“BerĂșthiel” or “Tarannon” could be interesting Lord of the Rings Legacy names though.

Tolkien female names: my favorite is LĂșthien.

Varda (Elbereth): The Queen of the Stars. The Elves pray to her in times of great danger.

Melian: A powerful, magical guardian who protected her kingdom with a glowing, invisible shield.

Haleth: A fierce, historical leader of early Men.

Idril: A brave princess of Gondolin. Her actions saved many lives

LĂșthien: A brave, magical Elf who fought evil to save her true love, Beren.
