I think Middle Earth is pretty dumb. Where are Upper and Lower Earth?
Also Sanctuary in Diablo.

The possibilities are endless, from nonsensically-strung-together names to weird portmanteaus to just picking normal words.

What about Earlier or Later Earth?! (And the same criticism could go to Midgard -- ie, where are Higard and Logard? At least Hyrule eventually got a Lorule.)

"Middle Earth" is actually derived from Midgard, in Old Norse Migarr, which means "middle yard (or enclosure)", which is located near the middle of Yggdrasil, the world tree, in between Niflheim, the land of ice, and Muspelheim, the land of fire.
