Lets get some opinions here - what is the worst named peak in the world.

Personally I think it is a toss up between 2 Berg peaks, Titty at Cobham and Andre's Knob at Garden Castle.

Based on the following photo my vote goes to Andre's Knob:

best or worst?

Titty is an awesome name.

There's also a Mcafee's Knob in Virginia.

And the Grand Tetons are the Great Breasts in English.

I like Macgillycuddy's Reeks in Ireland as the most random name.

Random Peak may be a slightly more random name - but "Macgillycuddy's Reeks" does sound pretty random :pirat:

Slightly off topic.. but Metolius (as in the gear) translates to stinking fish :)

Bad Marriage Mountain - that's pretty bad! Must be some fascinating back story there...

Citroen translates into Lemon :lol:

There are in fact more than you think... the worst seem to be the Spanish ones! Badly Chosen Car Names

Or from a more direct translation from the Gaelic name - Penis of the Demon.
