Asgon: Agreed.

Athrad: I have to appologise for some confusion: 'Athrod' is clearly the old version and has to be replaced by the newer 'Athrad'. I was inconsitent in my use, but have corrected that now.
Beside that I agree that it is possible that JRR Tolkiens change Sarn Athrad => Athrad Daer could have been motivated by the fact that Sarn Ford was fixed by publication as a name for a ford in Eriador. But (and that is a big but) it is speculation on the motive of the change and we have lots of geographical features on the LotR-map that have similar of identical names to such features on the 'Silmarillion'-map.
Other than that I did not fully get your meaning. Do you agree to use Sarn Athrad for the ford over Ascar were the battle was fought? If not I agree that we simply remove the elvish name and stay with Stony Ford.

Asasaeg: Okay if nobody else speaks up, we skip the elvish name.

Your proposal, that I will name RD-EX-54.5: Good find! I agree to the inclusion.

Respectfuly
