Name help needed - Highland mountains

I am getting my longhaired GSD male pup in about six weeks time - I am very very excited

Anyway, I am trying hard to think up a really great name. As I adore the Scottish Highlands and hill-walking, I am trying to think of a name that comes from the Highlands - either a mountain, loch or even a place, but am struggling just now.

Any ideas anyone (with pronounciations if appropriate! ) ?

So far I have thought of :-

Aonach
Morvich
Corran
Rannoch
Affric
Coulin

Is your pup a dog or a bitch ? Off the top of my head , Vorlich sprang to mind.
I've got an A-Z Scotland Visitors Atlas so could look up a list for you .
One popular mountain with walkers is Suilven. It's on the north west of Scotland , past Ullapool.

Thanks Missysmum. The pup is a dog. Vorlich is quite nice and sounds a bit german too, so that could be handy I have climbed Suilven

Thanks for the input.
