When I see FinGOLFin I think of 7-irons (and other funny name associations)

I have this terrible problem - whenever I see the name "Fingolfin" (whose character I love, BTW), immediately this very unwelcome image pops into my head of the lordly High King of the Noldor, dressed in golfing knickers and cap, chipping out of the light rough to the left of the fairway somewhere on the back nine in the British Open! Why an elf would be in the rough, I don't know - probably Sauron doctored his ball!

Also, Aragorn is a nice name, but Arathorn, his daddy - ugh! Makes me think Aragorn's grandfather is AraPricklyBramble (plant theme) or AraPaperCut (sharp theme).

But worst of all, my beloved (Entmoot) husband's name, Huor, reminds me of someone ... umm... throwing up! (*groan* "I KNEW those oysters CÃ*rdan sent from the Havens smelled funny! uh-oh ... HUOR!)

Any other funny name associations for anyone out there?
