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.
