Considering that the letter G doesn't exist in the Hawaiian alphabet...(m)I'm guessing it isn't.Array

Lord of the RingsHas anyone noticed how many Lord of the Rings names are on this website? I don't think I've ever met or heard of someone called Frodo or Legolas. Please explain.

Those are names in literature, I know one of my freinds actually would name his son Samwise. Not every name on this sight has been used on actual people but has occured in literature, and therefore concievably could be used on an actual person.

yeah I guess forgot about that one but according to my friend who is hawaiian that's a hawaiian name its not necessarily spelled that way. I just typed the spelling that made it easy to pronounce I guess.
