Well, Grond being the hammer of Morgoth relates to the Grond of the Morgul-host, because the Grond of the Morgul-host was the Hammer of the Underworld.

If you read the lists of Stewards, there are a whole heap of names Tolkien uses from his earlier unpublished works.

At the end of The Battle of The Pelennor Fields the enemy soldiers that were still alive, were gathered together before the broken gates of Minas Tirith, and told someone had to pay for the damage, Aragorn asked for Gothmog to make himself known, he was answered with shouts of:

I'm Gothmog
I'm Gothmog and so was dad before me
I'm Gothmog and so is my pet rat

Aragorn pointed to the nearest and asked why they all thought they were Gothmog, the soldier answered 'Well it's a popular name innit, a bit like Paragon son of Paramount Alesser Heir of Everdulls son Evenduller'
this caused much laughing and guffawing amongst the captured enemy soldiers, who enjoyed the fact their pet name for enemy king was now out in the open.
