Nov 14, 2015 at 21:57 comment added user36551 Sauron's name was Mairon; Melian is someone else entirely.
Jun 27, 2015 at 21:39 comment added Wad Cheber @randal'thor - I updated my answer to include the parallel example of Sauron - the same exact thing happened with his name. The name by which he was first known was complimentary, so when he turned out to be an asshat, they changed it to something less favorable.

Jun 27, 2015 at 10:25 comment added Rand al'Thor Hmm. The other answers give some nice references and detail on where the two different names come from, but this one addresses the circumstances in which each name is used. I can't decide whether to change my acceptance!
