There are definitely benefits.

Although given that the poor character has a dozen names already, I tend to wince a bit when I run across a fan calling him "Mae." Please stop, I am completely out of dedicated "names for Maedhros" brain cells! Probably even Maedhros is out of dedicated brain cells for "names for Maedhros."

Then, on the other hand, I take umbrage at JRR giving Maedhros enough names to stock a store, but apparently concluding that Maglor's wife didn't need one at all. :/ Good job, Prof, clearly you've got no biases here...

I'm going to propose that fandom hold a vote for which of Maedhros's overabundant names should be hers instead. Neyla? Maiwen?
