At least Eowyn is a name of an iconic character from LOTR. Honestly a great namesake. Nothing wrong with that

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 have a friend whose siblings are named Eowyn, Arwen, Lorien, and Dave.

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.
