Huh, TIL. I guess he was bound to become Gollum with a name like that.
It's almost like he was written by an English professor.
Like frodo's real name is Maura Labingi
Fugeddaboudit.

Smeagol sounds like a pretty genderless name.
Why not Gandalf? Smeagol was such a dreadful personality after he'd posessed the One Ring....
Arguably even worse personality before. Didn't have the excuse of being corrupted by the ring.
