Name a more egregious example of this. It isn't even spelled differently than the real word. At least forretress is forest fortress shoved together.

It wouldn't be Forretress if it were forest + fortress, it would be Foretress. The name as it is now is, and always has been, fortress + turret and nothing else is necessary to explain it.

Now please try to explain how this works in the nip name, because it doesn't. In English the extra r is so that when spoken aloud it sounds like forest fortress, foretress and fortress would be homonyms and ruin the pun.
