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