I really love this name and it is from [name_m]Lord[/name_m] of the Rings…
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you like it or not? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think of LOTR?
What would be a good middle??

What about…

I do think of LOTR but lots of people in my generation and below haven’t read or watched them, so I think it’s less of a problem than it would’ve been at one point, not that it’s a bad association.
I also think of Welsh names in general, I love [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] and Welsh names.
I second

The association is really strong for me, but I am from a generation for which LOTR is very much a big “thing.” For younger folks (though I myself am still relatively young), maybe not so much. That said, it’s one of the reasons I love the name, and I don’t think it’s a bad association at all, just a very very strong one.
Oh my gosh that is gorgeous!!! I love it
Some with [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] as a first:
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_u]Nova[/name_u]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Hattie[/name_f]

[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_u]Piper[/name_u]
I actually just finished watching the LOTR movies earlier this week, so I immediately thought of that [name_f]Arwen[/name_f]! I think it’s gorgeous and totally usable; it reminds me of LOTR but I don’t think that’s a bad thing? If you want something not associated the similar [name_f]Anwen[/name_f] or [name_u]Arden[/name_u] could work.
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] was my first idea, then [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]. Both of which are super gorgeous I think! What about:
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Juliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]

Association is strong for me because I am a LOTR fan. I think there are more usable alternatives like
[name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_f]Ardith[/name_f]
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_u]Endellion[/name_u]
It’s not a bad name by any means but I would very much assume that if I met an [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] their parents were LOTR fans for sure.
I do think of LOTR but that’s not a bad thing! She’s strong, beautiful and ethereal.
i like it. i don’t associate it with LOTR because i know a few, so it’s associated with them instead. for middles…

I do think of LOTR however with welsh sounding names like [name_f]Olwen[/name_f], [name_f]Bronwen[/name_f], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] etc. becoming more popular (and the popularity of the movies fade) I don’t think the association is that big of a deal or negative in anyway HOWEVER I don’t see the association completely fading away anytime soon.
It has a nice sound and vibe. Though I think of LOTR, I don’t think a lot of people would make the association. It’s not as blatantly LOTR as, say, Legolas or [name_m]Samwise[/name_m].

I never think of [name_m]Lord[/name_m] of The Rings when I hear [name_f]Arwen[/name_f], I think it is a beautiful name!
I would use a timeless elegant name as a middle!

I think it’s gorgeous, but inextricably tied to LotR. That doesn’t necessarily make it unusable, but I’d be prepared for lots of comments.
I love [name_f]Arwen[/name_f], and don’t tie it with LotR at all (maybe because I have an irrational distaste to LotR). I just like the name, and if the connotations are too strong, [name_f]Anwen[/name_f] is always there…
Arwen…

i think the association is strong but in a good way; it doesn’t take away from the name at all. i have a sister who was almost arwen and i think it would’ve been a great choice!
personally, i’m named after a star trek character, and even star trek fans don’t generally bring it up. if they do, it’s always in a “woah that’s so cool” kind of way. unless you really hate lord of the rings, i say go with it!!
I think [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] is cool! I know a person named that, and it suits her very well.
