Today, Derien travelled 1.08 miles on the journey from Bag End to Rivendell.

Reached edges of Farmer Maggot's fields.

A total of 61.04 miles along the way.

Why did Tolkien name him Farmer Maggot? Was it just to build up that sense of fear and distrust before he invited them in for dinner and turned out to be a sterling fellow?

I know I usually agonize over character names, and every time I try to throw caution to the winds and just slap a name on someone I regret it later. Usually one can run a 'find/replace,' these days, but imagine how it was before word processing. :)
