the correct English version of the name is "Kuromori Forest" or "Kuro Forest."

Meh. You either fully translate, keep the original or have some bastardiced version. But halfthing is bad bad.

On the other hand, we also say ATM machine -- i.e. Automated Teller Machine machine.

Some people might say that, but it's considered bad English. You wouldn't see things like "PIN number" or "ATM machine" written down in a newspaper or anything else that's actually being edited and follows some sort of a style guide.

Logical consequence of abusing the use of non-explained acronyms? Some people do say "PIN number" where I live, consequence of them not knowing what PIN stands for (in spanish we should talk about NIP anyway, much like NATO vs OTAN).
