but in TLOTR those in Moria are called goblins.
No, those in Moria are referred to as both orcs and goblins. Plus, Grishnakh was an orc from Mordor and was referred to as a goblin twice:
Quote:
The hobbits felt Grishnákh's fingers twitch. 'O ho!' hissed the goblin softly.~The Uruk-hai
Quote:
Grishnákh's sword was lying close at hand, but it was too heavy and clumsy for him to use; so he crawled forward, and finding the body of the goblin he drew from its sheath a long sharp knife. With this he quickly cut their bonds.~ibid
