SYDNEY, July 8 (UPI) -- The "Lord of the Rings" so inspired the mayor of a Sydney suburb he suggested naming the streets in a housing project after its characters.

The Randwick City Council will consider Mayor Murray Matson's suggestion next week even though he says he has since changed his mind, the Sydney Daily Telegraph reported Thursday.

Matson said he withdrew the idea after other council members came up with better concepts, such as naming streets after Australian Victoria Cross winners.
