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.
The male name Tristan isn’t unheard of. Is it really that odd to name someone after a fictional villain or even monster from the same genre? Tbf “Grendel” does sound nice.
Trying to think of other examples but I’m kind of having a hard time lol.
I met a couple who named their daughter Grendel, because they thought it sounded nice.
She better stay the heck away from Denmark.
I know an Eowyn. And a Beren.
I have a friend whose siblings are named Eowyn, Arwen, Lorien, and Dave.
I kinda feel bad for Dave.
Guess which parent named each of them Hint, it’s who you would think

At least Eowyn is a name of an iconic character from LOTR. Honestly a great namesake. Nothing wrong with that
Hopefully she doesn’t encounter any bee hunters.
This is a stupid joke about compound meanings in old English.
Did they know Beowulf out was it just a nice sounding name? Because Grendel…wasn’t nice.
