Trivia: While often used as a short form of Gwendolyn and as a male
name in the lat 19th century, the proper name "Wendy" did not exist as
a girls name until JM Barrie devised it for Peter Pan.

Sure, the trilogy was written between 1937 and 1949 - but that just makes it scarier! How did Tolkien KNOW? He published them RIGHT before Kroc bought up McDonalds! Was he trying to warn us? And, more importantly, how did he know how important burger joints would be, of all things! If I could predict the future, that's not what I'd look for.
