It's Not Easy To Come Up With Hobbit Names

Lugmere is in the black dress with her teeth showing (me). Divora is in the white sweater and black leggings (my youngest cousin)!

 The names Lugmere and Divora have different beginnings, but came together in one story in the end. I was playing "hobbit homes" out in the front yard of our house with my brother and sister. When we play games I usually instruct everyone that they should have a name. Anyway, I was the only one who came up with a hobbit name of my very own; the others having heard a lot about the Lord of the Rings, my favorite trilogy, and The Hobbit, another favorite of mine, were Bilbo and Lobelia. A few months later we were hiking in Georgia, and I told my cousin
about my hobbit name, Lugmere, and she decided to come up with one too. She became Divora in an instant. We had been wading barefoot in a small shallow creek dribbling under a bridge and that got her into thinking that we could be wandering hobbit children (specifically the Baggins twins,) and hobbit children we were, for the rest of the hike, in fact. We pretended all along the my dad was our uncle Frodo and Papa was our grandpa Bilbo.  Since then, we have been coming up with stories about the characters Lugmere and Divora.
