Have actually thought about the names you hold up as being bad examples of Tolkiens work. They (mostly) belong to Hobbits, and thats the point, hoobits don't have interesting names, becuase, throughout history they have done little that is interesting. Thorin Oakenshield isn amed so for the use of his shield in battle, and Beleg Strongbow is famous archer. Samwise Gamgee sounds like a daft, country farmer because that's what he is.
