LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".
A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Beauteous slash avoidance:
"In one film, there was an early scene where the word 'aniron', usually meaning 'I want' - in the sense of wanting a cup of tea - was adapted to mean 'I love' between Aragorn and Arwen, two of the elves.
"So this word now had romantic associations. David Salo, the expert working on the script, had to think of another word to mean 'I want', in case it seemed like one male elf asking another for something later on was mistakenly thought to have amorous intentions.

I can't even.
Aragorn and Arwen, two of the elves.
Arrgh. Plus the pic of Aragorn, used to show an elf. Almost as much of a pet peeve for me as misspelling the author's name, which of course the BBC didn't do.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Isn't Aragorn 1/8th elf or something like that? My knowledge of the whole geneology thing is dim and affected by drink and late hours, but I have some memory of him being a distant cousin of Arwen's. Of course, she's part human, so I guess it could be on that side of things.

Aragorn is all man.
Read that any way you want.
(Okay, like 50 generations back he gets into the elfy territory, but basically, man).
No doubt Nutty will now appear to clarify exactly how many generations back, and who.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Aragorn's part Elvish, Arwen is too / together they make one fine-looking Elf.

Aragorn's 5000-years-back grandparents were half-elven.

Is there an Elvish one-drop rule?

Is there an Elvish one-drop rule?
Snerk, no.
... well, I dunno. It's implied that the half-elven prior to Earendil were treated by all as elvish: Dior inherited Thingol's throne, etc. But Elros and Elrond had to make a choice, as did Elrond's children, as to which people they would belong to. I wonder what would have happened if Arwen, Elrohir, or Elladan had had children before Elrond left Middle-Earth.
