The only potential defense I see for the name "Loramin" would be to claim that it is two "acceptable" names put together as a compound (such as Lor Amin) but that seems like a stretch after the statements you've made.

Upon further inspection, "Lor Amin" may also violate the naming policy.

Lor:
to slumber
lor- "to slumber" (LT1:259; the corresponding abstract noun lórë "slumber" is attested in Tolkien's later Quenya, so this verb must still be valid). Cf. also lor "dream" (Letters:308; probably just an Elvish "element" rather than a complete word)
Amin:
masculine name. hope
A rejected name for Aragorn, changed to Estel (PM/269). It is probably a variant of amdir (MR/320).
You will all have to forgive me, justifying/not justifying these names changes is the most fun I've had on p99 in quite a while. If I had all day I'd rip balers list to pieces.
