I'm liking your theory also, maulkin, especially as we know little of the true history of the RotE!
A couple of place names I've found, though current, not from history:
Farrow - hamlet in Alberta, Canada
Spice Island - Grenada is known as this?
The Out Islands - Bahamas
The Barrens - place in World of Warcraft
OR
Barren Island - a few around the world, including one here in Queensland!
Bearns - there's The Bearn in France
Rippon - Rippon Vineyard in New Zealand
There are a few place names that are not named from other places in our history but are borrowed directly from our languages eg Tilth, a name with which I immediately just linked to the soil reference as it is an inland, farming region. Although there is a true-life Farrow, I must admit that I assumed that it was also so named, for agriculture eg pigs.
