Why in Lord of the Rings do the Hobbits and Elves have last names and the Men and Dwarves are referred to by their fathers names ie Frodo Baggins or Gimli son of Gloin?

I think it is because hobbits don't have kings and are very humble, and elves are immortal, so most of them don't die. But men and dwarves want a lot of glory, for example, Gimli son of Gloin - Gimli is obviously proud of his father and wants people to know that he is his son ( I think).

What are the seven dwarven rings?
They did not appear to be given names to the rings, nor the dwarves that held them. From the Silmarillion - "It is said that the foundation of each of the Seven Hoards of the Dwarf-kings of old was a golden ring; but all those hoards long ago were plundered and the Dragons devoured them, and of the Seven Rings some were consumed in fire and some Sauron recovered." If the Seven Fathers of the Dwarves, the original creations, did hold the rings, one belonged to Durin.
Who fought in Battle of Five Armies and what was the outcome?
The Battle of the Five Armies started as a face off between the armies of the Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield and Dain of the Iron Hills, the Men of Long Lake, led by Bard, and the Wood Elves, led by their King. They all had some claim to the treasure in the Halls of the King under the Mountain, recently freed from the possession of the dragon Smaug, whom Bard had slain, with Bilbo's help. As they were about to fight, due to Thorin's enormous love of the treasure, and complete unwillingness to consider any other claim, an enormous army of Goblins showed up. To some degree, their attack had been kicked off by the slaying of the Great Goblin by Gandalf, plus their desire for the treasure. Once the Goblins showed up, the Elves, Dwarves, and Men joined together to fight the common foe. After that battle had been engaged for some time, and was not going well for the forces of good, an army of eagles showed up and tipped the scales against the Goblins. So I guess that in the end, the desire of the Dwarves to gain back their lost home in Lonely Mountain, and win back the treasure of their fathers was the primary cause of this battle.
