Today, my daughter finally gave birth to twin boys. She informed me that she named them Peregrin Took and Meriadoc Brandybuck. My grandsons are named after Hobbits. FML

that's nothing, if I have a son I wanna name him Geddy Lee(best rock bassist and vocalist of all time), if I have male triplets I'm naming them Alex, Geddy, and Neil

Why do parents think naming their children after their favourite fictional characters is a good idea? It sounds like an excellent way to make your children absolutely despise whatever it is you're a fan of.

I love how all the comments pointing out the grandsons are probably going to get bullied because of their names are getting massively downvoted. Sorry fanboys, your downvotes aren't going to change the behaviour of small children.

And unusual names are becoming much more common these days, so they might not get bullied at all.

I have a pretty normal/semi unusual name, that happens to be the same name as a famous cartoon character. Years and years of teasing/bullying about it as a child, and I still get the characters catchphrases recited to me by people who think this is the most original and witty thing ever for some reason. Basically, if children want to bully you, they will do so, but parents really shouldn't make it easy for them to do so, by giving names that are more appropriate for a pet then a human child.

I hope those kids like the quote: "They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard", because they are probably going to hear it several times a day for the rest of their lives.

The kids may get bullied at school, but this is actually the best thing I've heard in a while :D I really hope OP's daughter wasn't joking.
