Out of curiosity, were there other variations of the name in other translations (if you know of any)? I've seen two variants on Glorfindel (Gorislav and Vseslavur), and the "C" names are wonky (Celeborn, Cirdan, Celebrian...). But I haven't come across a second Wormtongue.
Yep, he's Червослов in Григорьева-Грушецкий version (Wormword for English-speaking readers of this thread gone away from its purpose, mea culpa )

And he's Червеуст (Wormlips/wormmouth) in Каменкевич-Каррик version

(You see, I've been somewhat obsessed with it as a teenager (not yet speaking English), laying my hands on any translation I could get hold of)
