The Grand Teton mountains in the U.S. were named after... well, let's say we know what the male French explorer had on his mind when he discovered them. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Just hook any word you can think of to the terms Dell, Knob, Mountain, Hollow, Glen, Bend, and Fork, and you won't be doign any worse that half of us out there. Also, remember that even totally made up names (like Xen'drik or Kelthas Ghor) could translate to "Bald Knob" or "White Lake" in Common. They were just named by non-human explorers with a different language.</blockquote>
