Why would he want to do that? The name means "the abominable one or the abhorred one."
Hm since his some of his leisure activities were tormenting prisoners, sending slaves to Shelob, or just take over a nice little country if his troops were bored, I guess even Sauron was able to accept his name. And well, he was not someone who you want to have as a neighbour, and he was a downright evil man/spirit, so I guess he was quite content with "the abominable".


As for the body, I'm really sorry but I think I mixed up the book with the movie. I guess I'll have to re-read the books to refresh my memory.
