How about- a name shared by a villainous object and a non-villainous location?

Ok, silly answer time... SCARY!

Oh, you mean the famous Scary Bad Thing and the equally renowned Scary but Okay Place?

Of course! The village in the Shire that's just as renowned as that scary thing the bad guys used.

There's Orthanc-stone and Orthanc-rock, but I wouldn't call the place entirely innocent. And they are not identical anyways.

Well, perhaps not quite as renowned, but Morgulknifesville does boast one of the prettiest little picnic-grounds in the East Farthing!

I wouldn't call it even slightly innocent, after Saruman took up residence. So no, not those two.

Well that's a shame, cause all of my ideas seem to lead back to the various names of Saruman's abode (mostly iron- and fang- related stuff). Hint please?

Hmmn. Hints... let's see...

1. [---] is the actual name of the place, but only one of many given the object.
2. Both place and object are very important to the history of Arda, but the object is much better known in the real world.
