Lord Of The Rings Most Common Proper Nouns

Directions

Name the LOTR-specific proper nouns which appear at least five times in the trilogy. Some have hyphens – do NOT include the hyphen. Any very similar variations that begin with the same letters are added together in the total – i.e. ‘hobbit’ includes ‘hobbits’ and ‘hobbit-like.’ Other names for characters/places are not included in their total – variations of their name/nicknames/etc are separate entries unless it begins with exactly the same letters (i.e. Sam/Samwell are together).

Enter guesses above to begin.

Mt Doom is not included in this quiz. Seems like a glaring oversight, given that it’s the entire plot of the story.

Hi Darin

Could you add “Hobbiton”, “Bagend”, “One” and “Ring” to the quiz…they are all proper nouns

Greetings from Scotland

I can’t add ‘one’ or ‘ring’ as they are often used not as Proper – can’t add ‘bagend’ either as the words are separate in the books and ‘bag’ and ‘end’ are used a lot as non-Proper. Will add Hobbiton.
