Since Rumil is a name in Quenya (the "high elven" language in LoR), and
since Quenya is based on Finnish, I looked at what little I could find of
Finnish names.  No luck.  But all I searched was the 'net, and even then I
wonder if I missed some from search engines not equating "u" with "u with an
umlaut", or even "u with an omlat and a side of bacon".

Any Finns in the audience tonight?
