[hobbit] "Hobbit" name legal stuff; slight name change will happen
On 31 Jul 2008 , Manocchia, Robert entreated about "RE: [hobbit] "Hobbit" name legal stuff; slight na":
How about find a name so obscure in the Silmarillion that even the lawyers couldn't find it.
Seriously though, how about hobbiton.
that is a placename. 'Hobbiton on Hogsback', about 100km from where I am (you can see the Hogsback mountains on a clear day), I've been there, and that is where Tolkien grew up, ergo 'Hobbit's in the book

yeah, born there. I may be wrong because I can find no references to his knowing the Hogsback area, but then Wikipedia is not infallible, just like me).
but, I have read somewhere that he got 'hobbit' from Hobbiton on Hogsback, but that may just be speculation. failing furthur evidence I withdraw everything
