I kept trying to think of the name of the King of Rohan (from LOTR) and Thorin Oakenshield kept coming up. It took me a while to correctly think of Theoden.

I was also thinking about Bambi and hunting deer and trying to remember when I saw somebody say that they would prefer to be shot if they were a deer because they wouldn't even know, then I thought of Princess Alice of Battenberg (Prince Philip's mother and Queen Elizabeth II's mother-in-law) saying that because she was deaf she did not mind being out walking during curfew and possibly getting shot after the Allies liberated Greece in WW2 because she wouldn't be able to hear the gunshot.

Has anybody else had this?

Something similar. I sometimes can't remember a name I have been able to remember easily for years. It comes back but usually with a lot of effort.
