Tolkien

Firstly, i believe Legolas was Silvan for 'greenleaf', so the Quenya or Sindarin would be a redundancy, like saying Arwen Evenstar Undómiel, not to mention, if i remember correctly, JRRT never referred to Legolas as 'Legolas Greenleaf', that might have been a CT mistake. Also, why 'Laegolas'?;

Secondly, Doriad(i guess) would be the correct way considering the preference of JRRT; and

Thirdly, ork(s) logically would be correct, but consider that maybe Tolkien put a little Elvish influence(such as Celeborn), i doubt it, but it is something to consider.
