What is the worst name in Tolkien’s legendarium (meaning and look)?

On defence of poor Celeborn, his Sindarin name is Celeb-Orn (“silvery tall-one”), which becomes Telep-Orno in Quenya, not Tele-Porno. Compare Celebrimbor > Tyelperinquar.

Túna for the name of hill is perfectly good. In Swedish, it means “fenced homestead”, such as Eskilstuna, Sollentuna, Vallentuna etc.

Mount Doom. He really should have used more imagination with that.

What does it mean when I have a dream where my friend died? I had this dream last night where one of my friends died in a shootout and I woke up crying.
