Even if we never got an actual movie/tv series (I am also half convinced they'd ruin the plot irreparably), just the production values. Baby Galadriel and baby Elrond and Fëanor and everything. Well, apparently the Tolkien Estate didn't like the LotR movies because of how they changed some of Tolkien's messages (I shudder to think of what they must think of the Hobbit movies), so apparently they're never letting the rights pass to PJ. But it would still be so pretty.
I imagine that in practice, yes, she would remain Arwen Undomiel, because she had that going for her before she became queen, but technically in the historical records-based sense surely she would have joined the House of Telcontar and it would have become one of her afternames?? I don't know, that's assuming the names of royal houses even work like that. It's hard to know since a) we don't hear much about queens and b) royal lines seem to generally be "of the House of [person's first name]", not with a Random Quenya Word like Aragorn did.
Speaking of rereading, I finally obtained my own paper copies of the Silmarillion and the trilogy from a book sale today!! I am super excited :D (The Silm is the same edition and cover as the one I first read, but the trilogy's covers are just hilariously old, I should take a picture...)
I'll be happy to natter at you when the time comes! This will be fun :D
