In fairness, Mount Doom has multiple different names. Source: Finished the Silmarillion for the first time last night. :)

Orodruin, Amon Amarth, Mount Doom.

Mount Doom is also where the band Amon Amarth got their name from which is funny because they don't have any songs with Tolkienian fantasy and they're not really even huge Tolkien fans. It just sounded cool

I used to parrot the "created multiple languages, named the place Mount Doom" meme up until I started getting deeper into Tolkien lore. Now I'm the obnoxious one that points out all the other names for Mount Doom, as well as translating other "cooler" names to show that they're all similarly named (my favorite being Khazad Dum, or "Dwarf Hall", followed by Cirith Ungol, or "Spider Cleft").
