I'm just reading the LotR trilogy once again, and in the third volume after the scouring of the Shire there ist a little pun from Tolkien himself: After the replacement of the destroyed Bagshot Row (destroyed by Saruman = Sharkey and his ruffians), the hobbits rebuild the street and lookef for a name for it. In the book one can read: "But after a While in sensible hobbit-fashion it was just called New Row. It was a purely Bywater joke to refer to it as Sharkey's End." I like that!
Nice catch.
