I noticed while watching the LOTR movies that there are several references to Aragorn's elvish name "Estel" which means "hope". For instance, when Elrond is speaking to Arwen about Aragorn in TTT he says "Hope is gone. Hope is not coming back" (or something along those lines). I thought that this was a reference to Aragorn, so he was basically saying "Aragorn is gone. Aragorn isn't coming back." Also, in FOTR, when Boromir is speaking about Gondor he says something like "We have no hope. It is long since we have had any hope". Is this also a reference to Aragorn's name? Have you noticed any other references? What are your thoughts on this?
