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 are the beliefs of those who think climate change is a conspiracy theory? What do they predict will happen if we do not address it?
