There is some discussion on the origins of the name Baggins in this question. However, it only revolves around whether or not it is related to Bilbo being a thief, and I am interested in something else, not discussed there.
I always wondered whether Tolkien had ever commented on whether his invention of the name "Baggins" was affected by the French word bague, which means ring, there being a ring of some importance in the story of Bilbo Baggins.
Is there any mentions of this in his letters, biography, interviews?
