| What a delightful note of humor here, one universally shared by every set of expecting parents. I have to confess, though, that use of the word 'crazy' instead of 'mad' startled me a little; your use of British 'voice' has been so consistent. Loved this and the previous use of the word 'marigold!' Sweet, sly humor, entirely in character. Author Reply: I will change 'crazy' to 'mad' right away. After the angst the story needed a bit of humor. | |

| Oh, more please! Primula/Frodo-ness always makes me so happy.....I don't think my mind would be able to stand it if you didn't continue......I'd be content if you continued this particular story forever and ever and ever and ever... Author Reply: Don't worry, I will continue! Though, I fear, not forever. | |

| *loool* Oh, that was cute!! Arguing about the name! But I agree with Primula, I wouldn't like the names Drogo chose either. Well, the girls' names are alright, but the boys'... It's a good thing I know they'll find a nice name in the end - and the best ever, in my opinion. I mean, Frodo is beautiful. Author Reply: Frodo is beautiful. Never heard a truer comment :) But I agree, Frodo is one of the most beautiful names for a male in the Shire. | |

| Well, I think "Folco" is a nice name, too. But I'm really curious, how Primula will end up with "Frodo" - and, of course, Drogo's reaction on it! He will like it, I'm sure! Have you ever read "The history of the Lord of the Rings"? There you can see, that Tolkien, too, came not directly up with the name "Frodo". In the first drafts the name of Bilbo's air was "Bingo". But from the beginning on he was accompanied by a cousin and that cousin's name was Frodo. And his last name was Took, not Baggins. But after a time Tolkien decided, that the name "Bingo" was not fitting and he switched over to "Frodo". A wise decision! Author Reply: I have read HoMe I, II and parts of number VI (the long comments in small letters sometimes just are too much for me) but... yes, thankfully Tolkien made up his mind about Frodo. Just the thought of writing stories about Bingo... *shudders* Primula and I have quite the same taste when it comes to names and her despair about boy's names was partly taken from my own. Naming OC at times is more difficult than to give them a personality. Yet, every hobbit named Marroc, no matter how nice his character might be in another story will never gain my sympathy. :) | |

| I never even thought to wonder how Frodo got his name! What a delightful concept. Author Reply: Thanks! The thought that Frodo's name would be certain from the very begining sounded somewhat unrealistic to me so I had to come up with some kind of discussion :) | |
