I know there are some amusing names out there for mountains. Nippletop comes to mind. There's the Sqauw's Bosom in Maine near BSP. In NC along AT is Big Butt ironically not too far from Chunky Gal Mountain. My favorite which also is on AT is a wooded uninspiring peak in central Virginia called High Cock Knob.
What are some others?
 
Tomcat - the State of Maine has officially changed all placenames with the word "squaw" to "moose"

When I saw this thread I immediately thought of the Mooses' Bosom in BSP
 
Mount Nancy and Boy Mountain have both been involved in more than a few friendly jabs.
 
The "Moo"se list:

Peekamoose
Poke-o-Moonshine
Moose mt
Moosalsamoo
Mousilauke (ok, sort of honorary "moo" mt)

Fat Mountain in VT
Cube Mountain in NH
Faraway - From where?
Mount Desert Island :confused: Pick one, or at most 2!
['name' mountain lake] (e.g. Blue Mountain Lake) Is it a mountain or a body of water?

Speaking of which, 'Balsam Lake Mountain'. From time to time, people get to the summit, where we volunteer, and ask where the lake is! I have to tell them that:

1) There are very few lakes on mountain summits :rolleyes:
2) There really is a Balsam Lake
3) You missed it by about 2 miles
4) No, you can't see it from here
5) It's on private property
