Naming tech startups after Lord of the Rings is a thing, there's a still a few good ones up for grabs. Someone should use these...

Taken:
- Palantir
- Anduril
- Durin
- Mithril

Available:
- Gandalf
- Galadriel
- Elrond
- Lindir
- Aragorn
- Rohan
- Shire?

Just thinking out loud here. Bonus points if you add "Labs" to the name
