There are a lot of orcs that are mentioned by name in the Lord of the Rings books; Ugluk, Grishnakh, Mauhur, Gothmog, etc.
But are there any mentions of their names in Peter Jackson's movie trilogy?

Many Orcs are named in the credits, without their names being spoken onscreen. I think there probably are some, but I actually can't think of any specific examples.– NerrolkenJul 10, 2015 at 16:16

The scene in the tower after Frodo gets Shelob'd. There's some dialogue between an uruk hai and an orc there and I swear someone says soemone's name. I think it's in Return of the King.– DaftJul 10, 2015 at 16:16

I'm almost sure that Lurtz is named in the films, as he was invented for them (it). I wouldn't bet all my money, though.– Alfredo HernándezJul 10, 2015 at 18:19

2IIRC, Lurtz is never actually named in the films - just in the credits and supporting materials– The FallenJul 10, 2015 at 18:26

I've had a read through all three film scripts...
...as well as the scripts for the various special editions. Although several Orcs and Uruk-Hai are mentioned by name in the script notes (notably Lurtz and Grishnákh) none of them are mentioned within the dialogue itself.
