Poll is a go. on legolas' name change proposals: I will include all of the debate as it has gone thus far.

Hold off on Orc/k till later

I'd rather not coin new terms like this, honestly. It's one thing to update a Noldorin name to its Sindarin equivelant; it's another to start playing around with new roots and such. We could try to reconstruct a Sindarin form based on the Quenya in Quettaparma, getting around the problem of mixing Quenya and Sindarin names. That would, however, not be expecially valid. I'm for either going with Bad Uthwen or removing the name entirely.
