I just don't like something intended for war being called Anduril. They've missed JRRT's point completely.

There is also a company called palantir which is pretty much a cyberpunk corporate distopia surveillance company.

Well, that would at least somewhat resonate with what a palantir is.

With the wrong part, the kind that Denethor thought he could use and that Sauron and Saruman used, and I really like more the implication of that from Frodo's dream where he stands at one of the towers in the north looking far away.
