article snip:
In his original manuscript for "The Fellowship of the Ring," author J.R.R. Tolkien named his main character not Frodo Baggins, but, according to Tolkien scholar Wayne Hammond, Bingo Baggins.

Did you know also that Bingo Baggins was the name of a "Hobbit of the Shire (TA 2864-2960), husband of Chica Grubb.  Their son Falco was the first Chubb-Baggins."
