One may not swear by an idol's name.
One should not mention the name of an idol in one's conversations.
Even mentioning an idol as a landmark is forbidden. E.g. "please meet me next to [name of idol]".
One may mention idols mentioned in Sefarim (E.g.: Tanach or Gemara) like Pe'or and Nevo.
One may not cause others to swear in the name of an idol - including non-Jews.
Applies to everybody, everywhere, all the time.
Pasuk: And the name of other gods do not mention (Shmos 23:13)
