Yet, the Mouth of Sauron doesn't seem to have anything against saying "Sauron" Here's an example:
Quote:
'Surety you crave! Sauron gives none. If you sure for his clemency you must first do his bidding
'Sauron' isn't his 'right name', its a title - according to Encyc of Arda it means either 'The Abhorred' or Lord of Abomination'.
