The Ultimate Hobbit Companion.......
Message:

or something along those lines (I haven't read it in a while so I'v forgotten the title) is actaully a book packed full of etymological dissections of Tolkien character names, mainly from the Hobbit but also dwelling on influences on the names from Lord of the Rings. If your into this kind of stuff its real interesting.
