Seguendo le indicazioni di Tolkien, si possono avere traduzioni come: Strettacinta, Stringicinta, Tiracinta.J. R. R. Tolkien, «Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings» ha scritto:Bracegirdle. A genuine English surname, used in the text, of course, with refercnce to the hobbit tendency to be fat and so to strain their belts. A desirable translation would recognize this by some equivalent meaning Tight-belt, or Belt-tightener / strainer / stretcher. (The name is a genuine English one; a compound of the Romance type with the verbal element first, as in Drinkwater = Boileau; but it is not necessary that the representation should be a known surname in the language of translation. Would not Gürtelspanner do?)
