"RE: [hobbit] "Hobbit" name legal stuff; slight na":
How about find a name so obscure in the Silmarillion that even the lawyers couldn't find it.
Seriously though, how about hobbiton.
that is a placename. 'Hobbiton on Hogsback', about 100km from where I
am (you can see the Hogsback mountains on a clear day), I've been there,
and that is where Tolkien grew up, ergo 'Hobbit's in the book
