    I met a couple who named their daughter Grendel, because they thought it sounded nice.

            Yeah lord of the rings characters are fair game for names. Really just give popular media like a decade or two before you name your kid after it. Though it may be wise to never leave out the R in your Margrat.

      Hopefully she doesn’t encounter any bee hunters.

      This is a stupid joke about compound meanings in old English.
