As for your 'mountain' names - there's so many to choose from.
LOL - when I first posted the thread, I was sure you would come up with some

Cairn (also a feature)

Ben Vorlich (hill of the bay)

Ben Lui (Calf Hill)

Bidean (pronounced Bid ee an - sounds like like Gideon) = Mountain of the mountains as in Bidean nam Bian. A good strong name.

Alder (Ben Alder) = named after the Alder burn

Gillean (ponounced Gill ee an) Sgurr nan Gillean = Peak of the young men

Slioch (pronounced Slee uch)= the spear

Alligin (as in Ben Alligin) = the jeweled hill

So may to choose from

Last but not least and for me - there can only be one name.
Buachaille (pronounced like your belt buckle but with an ooo - Boookull) but the K is soft like ch in the word Loch. Buachaille simply means the shepherd.
Buachaille Etive Mor = Big shepherd/herdsman of Etive or Buachaille Etive Beag = Little shepherd/herdsman of Etive. Does what it says on the tin - A magnificent mountain standing guard over Glen Etive/Rannoch Moor.
I LOVE Buachaille and the meaning behind it, but just not sure with my Cumbrian/Lancashire accent and my husband's Yorkshire one we could do it justice! I will definitely put it on my shortlist though.

So far, favs are Corrie and Corran, especially Corran as it is a gorgeous little village on the NW coast which overlooks Knoydart and is an area I visit regularly.

My hubby still likes the non-Scottish "Basil" best!

How about Drumlin? [from geomorphological term for distinctive shaped hills left as part of a glacial deposit]
