children

I can't think of many boys's names that I like the sound of and wouldn't give the child funny looks. Excluding names like Tom or Bill of course. Girl's name there are some more: Idril Elwing Arwen Indis Miriel Aredhel

It is well known that there was no way of measuring the passing of time between the awakening at Cuivenen and the discovery of the first born by Orome. Simple questions: Is it stated anywhere that: some elves woke as infants? Were elf infants and toddlers part of the march from the lake...
