Your hobbit doesn't reach the chest of the other races in the game, but has more common sense then the combined party you intend to join. Need an authentic sounding family name, or even a name mentioned in passing in Tolkien's works? Generate a name that can pass for someone's cousin.
LOTRO lets you choose a hobbit as your character, and this, the end of the third age, is when hobbits become known to the mighty
. Generate a surname found in the Shire or Bree, and a first name to distinguish yourself from your multitudes of relatives. These generators work in different ways, some by mapping your name to a hobbit name database, while others randomly select a name for you. If you don't like the first name generated, try a variation of your name, or one of the other generators listed in this article.
These are generators that use names directly from Tolkien's work and combine them to make male and 
female hobbit names. . Generators that map the first and last names you enter into the generator to names in their database give you the same name every time you enter the same information, and, depending on the size, many names may turn up with the same results. If a generator uses two or three letter combinations, there is more variety.

erell was the first person I ever heard of who created a generator for any of the races in Tolkien's world, and so I'll examine 
his Hobbit name generator first. He created a Hobbit name generator and then went on to create an Elven name generator. He has explained the basic premise to his name generator in his FAQ. From a database a friend, Jane Pinckard, compiled from Tolkien's books, he maps names to letter combinations. You enter your first name, your last name, and your sex into the generator. He uses the first and last letters of each part of your name to assemble a name for you.
Female Names
Rebecca Scudder turns into Lila Sandybanks. 
- Robyn Snyder becomes Tigerlily Sandybanks
- Rosalynd Smith's hobbit name is Goldie Foxburr of Loamsdown
- Rebecca Jones gives me Lila Boffin of Whitfurrows
Scudder and Snyder begin and end with the same letters, so they are mapping to Sandybanks. Rosalynd Smith, which begins with the same letters, and ends differently, becomes Goldie Foxburr of Loamsdown. And Rebecca obviously maps to Lila.
Male Names
In his generator for male names,
- Henry Johnson rejoices in the name Minto Brandybuck of Buckland.
- Henry Smith becomes Minto Foxburr of Loamsdown.
So Henry maps to Minto, and Smith to Foxburr of Loamsdown. Michael James gives me Berilac Boffin of Whitfurrows. While James and Jones are different names, they both map to Boffin of Whitfurrows.
Families
If you are picking names for a family, this is handy to know, because both male and female members will end up with a hobbit name from the same family, based on this sampling of the generator. However, entering Rebecca James into the Male hobbit name generator gives me the delectable name of Lardo Boffin of Whitfurrows- which probably serves me right for trying to confuse it. And, unless you want to try and cover the name of Lardo with renown, I suggest you don't enter a male name starting with R and ending in a.
