She was working at Oxford at the same time as Tolkien, so it wouldn't be surprising if she thought hard about names and their use. I wonder if they ever talked?

Ooh, now that's an interesting possibility that hadn't occurred to me!

I remember when I first read the sentence, "My dear Windham" in FotH and just went "Aww!" Talk about lightning bolts.

:D

That stuff about meanings is really interesting too—I love that Keith and Ewen complement each other, and the meaningful Windham family crest feels very appropriate for a story that makes so much of the mysterious workings of fate.
