I must question whether Gildor can be considered a 'noble' of Nargothrond. At most, he would be a knight, in my opinion. As to a son of Finrod, it must be noted that at the time of writing, Finrod referred to Finarfin, and Inglor was the name of Finrod, Inglorion possibly being an epithet to say son of Inglor, or of Inglor's People. It is also technically possible that Gildor was never actually alive during the first age, and is instead a descendant of one of Finrod's people. Few survived the fall of Nargothrond, most of the soldiers died at the battle of Tumhalad, and the people made into slaves. Gildor would therefore be, in my opinion, an elf of Dorthonion, or a descendant of an elf of Dorthonion, who also counted themselves among Finrod's people, their lords being vassals of their brother Felagund.
