Thanks for pointing that out, I'd missed it. I doubt he'd use the name "Hiawatha" itself out of consideration for Jim Thill, but it sounds like he may be playing with the idea of using one out of the Longfellow work. It would certainly go along with the use of "Rivendell" and various product names drawn from Tolkien's books. In fact, I named one of my children using a Tolkien place name, and that was several years before the founding of RBW, so I was not influenced by Grant in doing so. But then everyone knows what they say about great minds.
