Singing: Like other dwarves, Bofur knew how to sing, as he sung "The Man in the Moon" well during their feast at Rivendell.

Name
Bofur comes from the Old Norse word Bávor, meaning "grumbler," but it does not fit Bofur's personality.

Official Biography
“Endearing and likable, Bofur has a disastrous tendency to state the obvious and blurt out things without thinking. With a love of music and a fine singing voice, Bofur delights in good food and good company and is unfailingly optimistic. Though not especially brave, he will do his best to help those in need, especially those he counts as friends. Along with his brother Bombur and his cousin Bifur, Bofur joined the Quest for the Lonely Mountain partly to seek his fortune – and partly because he was told the beer was free”1
