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.

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

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

Can the United States threaten the UK with destroying its economy to force it into anything, just like what happened in the Suez Crisis?
