Names

In the Lord of the Rings Mod, every NPC (Non-Player Character) is given a name. Certain establishments such as taverns are also named. All names are randomly generated combinations of words from different lists found in the mod's code. The only exceptions to this are the names of specific characters, such as Gollum, Saruman, and Shrek.

Appearances
Most of the time, NPC names appear in the chat whenever that NPC speaks to the player or performs a notable action. If the player decides to take a mini-quest from an NPC, that NPC's name will appear in the player's Red Book along with a description of the task that he/she gave to the player. Additionally, when a player picks up a drop that was a possession of a NPC (pouches, worn equipment, armour, etc.), the description of that item will denote by name who the item once belonged to.

Tavern names are written on wooden signs posted above the doors of the buildings.

Dwarves
Dwarves are only given a first name in the mod. Their father's name is appended to theirs to clarify their lineage. An example of a Dwarf name is [Barin son of Fundin, the Dwarf].

Elves
Elves usually have just a first name, but are sometimes given a title that goes after their first name. An example of an Elf name with a title is [Elladan Felagund, the Galadhrim Elf].

Ents
Ents have a one word name that comprises of a prefix and a suffix. An example of an Ent name is [Greenroot, the Ent].

Gondorians
Gondorians only have a first name, but like Dwarves, their father's name is included. An example of a Gondorian name is [Arador son of Turgon, the Gondor Soldier].

Hobbits
Hobbits have a first name and a surname. An example of a Hobbit name is [Myrtle Bracegirdle, the Hobbit].
