I am now convinced that Boromir is the equivalent of a redneck in the group. Sure, he might be almost-royalty and he might have grown up in one of the largest cities, but mentally, he is driving a rusty truck, wearing a plaid shirt and drinking bud light while listening to old country. He thinks elves are suspiciously androgynous, and probably woke tree huggers, but he’s trying his best to not be a dick about it, because he doesn’t want to be “that guy” in front of what are essentially foreign diplomats. Also, between all the gay elves, completely unhinged hobbits and self-righteous so-called wizards, someone has to be the common sense of the group, and it sure as hell won’t be that hippie dropout that spends his days banging some local elf king’s daughter and stumbling through the forests, yet somehow claims to be the long lost king or some bullshit like that.
And Frodo doesn’t know Legolas’ name
Boromir knows it, but just calls him “Leggy” for short, “Elf names… Amiright!”
