The thirteen dwarves who travelled with Bilbo had rhyming names, or at least names that were used in groups. Can you name all thirteen?
Answer:
Thorin, Dorin, Nori, Ori, Balin, Dwalin, Fili, Kili, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur and Bombur
Did you know that you have a secret hobbit name and an elven name? I looked for mine and it turns out that I'd be Ruby Gamgee-Took of Bywater to the hobbits, and in Rivendell I'd be known as Merenwen Telrúnya, I think I like the hobbit name best. Check here and here to find your names.
You can also see your name written in runes here, although you might not want to post your name because it will be translatable.

Ooh, Tricksy, Dreamteam!
I'm going to start with my name--
My hobbit name is Dimple Took of Great Smials
and my elvish name is Nienna Tiwele.
I'm not altogether happy about being a TOOK!
But Dimple isn't too bad--although it sounds a bit like a silly hobbit girl to me. Humph!
I'm not really good at remembering long lists--individual names, and their meanings, yes, but not a list.
Thorin Oakenshield--the most important dwarf.
Kili and Fili. Younger dwarves.
Balin and Dwalin.
Bifur, Bofur and Bombur.
I know there's a dwarf with a G name who's the father of Gimli in LOTR--but can't think of his name! Rats.
This is it for me, now.
what can you expect from a Took?!
*****************************
I was driving to the store and the names Oin and Gloin came to me! I think the phrase "Gimli son of Gloin" came back to me. Ten names without cheating--i mean looking at the book. Not bad for a little Took girl, I think! 
edited by dreamteam to put the answer to the dwarf names in spoilers - good work on getting ten Fricka 
Sorry Dreamteam I didn't know we were supposed to put the names in spoilers! I'm new to this anyway, and I don't think I quite know how that works. What should I do next time we are not supposed to reveal names?

yay! Name generators... always so much fun!
If I were a hobbit, I would be Belba Boffin of Whitfurrows
If I were an elf, I would be Nellas Mithrandír... does that mean I'm related to Gandalf?

My Hobbit name is Ruby Bulge of Hobbiton. I've had that name come up before, so that's good!
My Elven name is Nessa Arcamenel. Hmm, not too sure I like that one!
As to the dwarves names....er lets see how good my memory is here! Thorin Oakenshield, Dwalin and Balin, Ori, Dori and Nori, Oin and Gloin, Bofur, Bombur,.... I can't remember the other three!
