Had a chuckle when I saw this thread. Skye and Fingal were names that we came up with along the same line of thought.

As for your 'mountain' names - there's so many to choose from.

Off the top of my head

Corrie (more of a mountain feathure though)

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.
