This is all from HoME:
Originally, the name Finrod was given to the 3rd son of Finwe (Finarfin) His (Finarfin/Finrod) 1st son was given the name Inglor. For some reason, Prof T changed the names and now we have Finwe>Finarfin>Finrod.
In those original tales, the ones where Orodreth is the son of Angrod, Finrod/Inglor had children in Middle earth. Here is where my memory fails, I don't know if his children were ever specifically named or not and I think the idea was quickly dropped. Nor can I remember if the above theory was in effect when Gildor was written into LoTR.
Actually here is an article from Wikipedia about Gildor and his surname:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gildor_Inglorion.
Be aware that some of what they say is opinion...
Inglor

I haven't read HoME, so I'm feeling much better now, thanks  ! You do have some very good possibilities as far as plot bunny goes  ... so let us know if it ever comes to pass!
And thanks for that link ... I'll go check it out  .
