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

Orodruin, Amon Amarth, Mount Doom.

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").

This is also fairly common in real life, for example, this map of Japan with the Prefectures translated to English.
