I hope that name got him beat up regularly.

Not only was he from Mississippi, but he also shared a name with a hobbit.  That's gotta suck.

I wonder if Tolkein did it on purpose. Bilbo was a senator when the Hobbit was published and Bilbo was only 5'2"

I doubt Tolkien had much knowledge and interest in an obscure politician from a different country.  It's much more likely to have been a coincidence.
