If you're a The Lord of the Rings fan—or even have just existed within a slightly nerdy realm in the last twenty years—Elrond is a household name. It is the name of the equal parts enchanting and intimidating elven ruler of Rivendell. You might remember his delicate braids framing a severe face in the Peter Jackson films or any of his various powerful deeds in the tale. This name mysteriously means "star dome," giving baby the night sky itself when Rivendell isn't an option.
