  1. They all seem good to me! This isn’t a problem you made, but I find it interesting how Frodo was written as 「フロド」and not 「フロード」 since the first “o” is emphasized in English; that’s how it’s usually done, but I guess that’s not how it was said at the time or something.

  2. There’s actually another name for Lord of the Rings in japanese. It’s 指輪物語(ゆびわものがたり).

  3. Perfect! Way to go!
    The movie title is ロード・オブ・ザ…でもリング and the novel title is 指輪物語.
