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

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.

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.

Atheists claim that Earth is 10 billion years old, yet there are no fossils that old. What do you have to say for yourselves for lying?
