Turgon's Tolkien Lab

I received an email from a member who asked if I was a Tolkien fan. Certainly! To break up the monotony here is a teaser for Tolkien buffs. My home rack routers are named after female characters in the Silmarillion and Lord of The Rings. There are 14 routers. You may guess the names if you care to. I shall announce the winners and they get the woman or goddess of their choice

Let's see...

Luthien
Melian
Galadriel
Eowyn
Arwen
Rosie
Elbereth

And that's about all I can come up with off the top of my head without resorting to the search engines

Actually, I guess Ungoliant and Shelob would also count as female characters hehe

I do something similar, though my fan is George Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series. My routers are named after places, my switches are named after houses, and my hosts are named after people, the sole exception being my nameservers, which are named Fire and Blood

Impressive. You have a Harem there..

R1 Luthien
R3 Melian
R5 Galadriel
BB2 Eowyn
BB3 Arwen

1 x Maiar, 1 x Sindar, 2 x Noldor, 1 x Rohirrim. I can't give you Elbereth. The Valarian name has to count there

Same here. I tried the creative name thing for a while but then I'd just end up making sure that what ever router I was on was R1 etc. It was just a lot easier to name it R1 and not have to remember.
