Well as the passages stand now I say we eliminate Rog and leave his Company, as far as that is possible. I will ty and post a draft of this soon.

To be honest, I am still in favor of keeping "Rog". I really don't see any problems with it in terms of later Sindarin; the only possible complaint I can see, that later names shouldn't end in "-g", is countered by the name "Forweg". And if "Balrog" is possible, I don't see why "Rog" shouldn't be.
Regarding "Bad Uthwen": I'm really tempted to keep this, too. "Bad" could, as jallanite suggests, easily be rendered with a circumflex; it would then fit the Etymologies perfectly. Nothing like Uthwen is attested later, but that doesn't mean that it is unsuitable.
