"The main thing I think I will be left wondering about is the character name of Blahrog, was that an intentional play on Balrog but meant to be boring?"

I tend to doubt it. LOTR had not achieved its current cultural prevalence by 1961. "Blahrog" sounds vaguely Celtic ("Blarney" "Erin go bragh", etc), which fits the leprechaun motif.
