Except for that purely linguistic riddle there is no evidence for it while the little list compiled by me above speaks against it. In the very text about Gothmog in RotK it says that he was the lieutenant of Morgul (indicating that he was close to the chief nazgul, second in command in fact) while the Mouth of Sauron was lieutenant of Barad dur. Tha is a remarkable difference that says everything we need to know.
