    Why would he be known as Strider? What exactly is that supposed to mean? Does he somehow walk differently than every other bipedal creature in a world that I has at least four different full species of them that I can name?

    bc Trotter made sense as a name for a hobbit with wooden shoes, but not for the King to be of Gondor and Arnor. Men don’t trot. They stride.

    I mean, is he the only human being they know? That's a bit like calling an eagle "flier."

    It is primarily only men that call Aragorn Strider. Actually Bree’s population seems evenly split with hobbits, so maybe it was the hobbit population making fun of his walk.

    Is the Gothmog currently in the vote right now the orc or the balrog?

    I’m adding the other one regardless

    It's actually because his full name was Aragorn Stridessociation Football.

    I am just going to add for extra context that a lot of people said he had a history walking very aggressively/creepily.

    Gothmog the Orc is in the vote. So if I’m understanding correctly, you just want two characters of the same name and you don’t mind which way round. At best this is some weird flex that you know a lot about LOTR, at worst it’s to be a pain in the arse with the list. You can have this one, but if you keep finding and adding people who have names the same as others on the list they won’t be included.
