My liege, it is not required for your advisors to be eunuchs.

wormtongue would at least have been half the creeper he was had he been a eunuch

[u/man_juicer → u/cosmichierophant]

i'm pretty sure his fate was sealed as soon as his parents named him.

[u/ProfileBest7444 → u/man_juicer]

His birth name is actually Justin he changed it once he got hired

[u/AuroraCelery → u/ProfileBest7444]

you joke but wormtongue is not his name and it might be something more basic actually

[u/ProfileBest7444 → u/AuroraCelery]

I kinda assumed wormtongue was a mocking title or nickname

[u/AuroraCelery → u/ProfileBest7444]

yeah, it explicitly states in the books that it is, and that he hates being called that

[u/HellbirdVT → u/AuroraCelery]

His name is just Gríma. It means "mask" or "visored helm" far as I can tell.

Rohirrim don't have surnames, "Wormtongue" is a nickname he worked hard for.
