Well, I thought that both the places could be called Rhosgobel. Radagast lived in "Rhosgobel 1" in the South, and when he had to leave it, he lacked the place so much that he named the second place where he dwelt the same (and probably built that "russet village" there, along with his friends who were, let's say, woodsmen who also had to leave their former homes).
