Re: Names of genderswapped characters

[identity profile] mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com 2014-05-03 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
If you are going to genderswap anyone in Tolkien, you need to totally change their name.

Elven names have meaning and often that meaning would be invalidated somewhat if they were suddenly female. At the very least seriously research a proper feminine version of their name, based on what their name means.

Humans can also have gendered names. Anything ending with a -ien, -wen, -wyn ending is bound to be a woman's name. Humans tend to recycle names, including, quite frequently, Elven names from legend. Boromir is actually Boromir II, and his father is Denethor II, and grandfather was Ecthelion (the name of an Elf in Gondolin, and probably not the first Ecthelion in the Steward's line) and his father was Turgon (Gondolin's king, the one who owned Glamdring was Turgon (at least in Sindarin)).

Hobbits name girls after flowers, and in a few families (like the Tooks) after gemstones.
