Curious. How many named, physically present and living women are ever named in the Lord of the Rings books?

As they come to me:

Lobelia (of the Sackville Bagginses?)
Rosie Cotton
Sam & Rosie's daughter? Can't bring her name to the front of my head. Card-catalogue brain in a search-engine world.
Galadriel
Arwen
Eowyn
The woman in the Houses of Healing in Gondor? Hadith or something?

That's all I got. Seven? Total. That's like a Bechdel Test Superfail.

Anyone got more? Really! I'm stumped.

More freaking sausage than Oktoberfest. That's the...wurst, really.

@oldladyplays the bechdel test also show us that there is only ONE dialogue between 2 women :
A little girl and her mother, (2nd film I guess ? When a mother send her both children on a horse to the village where the King is haunted by sauron (and super super old))
And the sentence is like 3 words I think ?

But :
To go to a positive thought, the serie about young galadriel, young Sauron and stuff (don't remember the name of the serie) include lots more woman
They evolve and didn't want to make twice the same mistake.
I think it is a good move from a fantasy world. Including women even in the army or "man stuff" (well... former man stuff)
