2I don't think we have enough Westron vocabulary to know, but presumably "The Fenced Fields" would be the English translation.– OrangeDogCommented May 29, 2022 at 18:05

22I dispute the assumption this question is based on. Once you name a place, people use the name. Nobody talks about "Rat's Mouth, Florida" or "Red Stick, Louisiana."– DavidWCommented May 29, 2022 at 21:59

2Yeah, just because they did not speak Sindarin, did not mean they stopped calling locations by their traditional names.– suchiuomizuCommented May 30, 2022 at 1:41

@DavidW I got the red stick immediately, but your rat's mouth made me googlemap. Thanks for a good nerd snipe.– StianCommented May 30, 2022 at 11:02

@DavidW Thank you for your response and great examples! I agree with your rebuttal and anticipated the possibility of keeping the name as is (hence the first of three proposed possibilities in my question); I only know just enough to get confused. The particular thing that threw me was learning that Minas Morgul, formerly Minas Ithil, was also called Dushgoi--so I wondered if the non-Sindarin-speaking commonfolk continued to call the Pelennor Fields by its Sindarin name or if they opted for a different name, Westron or otherwise. Perhaps there is a better way I could phrase my question?– WiZΔRDCommented May 30, 2022 at 19:53

```python

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
