> Names are hard, and we’re aware it can remind people of Uruk and Uruk-hai. That’s OK.
What I would worry about is if it reminds whoever holds Tolkien's copyrights of Uruk and Uruk-hai.

That’s a good point, thanks for mentioning it. I think we’re safe since Uruk can’t be copyrighted as it’s an ancient city’s name and the name of a time period, and there are no intentional Tolkien references on the product.
