Best Middle-Earth Place Names

There is a bountiful number of places featured on the glorious map of Middle-earth (The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit). This list compiles the places with the most elegant (or perhaps sinister) sounding names.

1. Lothlórien

2. Khazad-dûm (Moria)

   The name Khazad Dum sounds cool, just saying

3. Minas Tirith

4. Rivendell

5. Osgiliath

6. Esgaroth (Lake-Town)

7. Isengard

   "They are taking the hobbits to Isengard!"

8. Rivendell

9. Minas Morgul

10. Mirkwood (Eryn Lasgalen)

    Erin Lasgalen - it a phrase caresses hearing and I want to sing it. High mountains surround Mirkvud as if fortifications, are the wonderful lakes and the rivers rich with fish and other freshwater creatures there. This majestic and wonderful forest deserves attention, I would not refuse to live one of the lives there.
