My name is Tampa (friends call me Tam) and I'm from Philadelphia.
Or possibly not.
Actually, I probably wasn't in a wildly creative mood when I first registered it. If I was inclined to go out and come back in again (which I'm not), I'd probably go with another personna - a certain fictional character from Consider Phlebas - which I haunt other dark corners of the internet with.
TP.

I never knew that. Do people on Dutch-language forums that aren't Tolkien-related get the reference?
Where's Frodo?

I love the pretty word that it is. I love flowers. I love the place where it grew. Love all the places where it's mentioned in the books. Love the way Sam called his daughter by the name, suggested by Frodo.
Had I mentioned I love it?
One thing I find really annoying on the Cast Commentary of the DVDs is that the boys think that delightful child is called "Goldilocks."
"Casts eyes to ceiling and mutters darkly*
"Frodo thought for a moment. 'Well, Sam, what about elanor, the sun-star, you remember the little golden flower in the grass of Lothlorien?'"

Pipkin, from Watership Down, and Sweetgrass, named for the sweetgrass baskets made by the women in the African cultures here and in the Low Country. I'm not of African descent, but I do admire those baskets as well as the cultures in general. There are many cultural communities in and around coastal Georgia, from Native American to Highlander, English, Irish, Greek, Asian, Jewish...you name it, we got it. I wanted a hobbity name that reflected my home, and so, Pipkin Sweetgrass came to be. Oddly enough, more and more people are calling me by that name than by my RL name!
"Once upon a time I had a mind to make a body of more or less connected legend, ranging from the large and cosmogonic to the level of romantic fairy-story - the larger founded on the lesser in contact with the
earth, the lesser drawing splendour from the vast backcloths... I would draw some of the great tales in fullness, and leave many only placed in the scheme, and sketched. The cycles should be linked to a majestic
whole, and yet leave scope for other minds and hands, wielding paint and music and drama."
J.R.R. Tolkien

always been really moved by the encounter with the Mouth of Sauron (in the book, duh) and all the baggage that Men carried away from Numenor.
