Most of those places already had names, beautiful, highly symbolic names that evolved over generations, but they were in Savage Nativeish so they don’t count, apparently.

    A few internet people I’ve had displeasure of talking with can’t wrap their head around the fact I prefer to call Mount Sagarmatha that name instead of Everest.

        Yeah, I though so as well. It’s Nepali name of that mountain. Got plesantly surprised when a space warship in a TV show The Expanse was named Sagarmatha instead of more commonly known western name of the mountain. Personally, I felt it made the ship more badass as a result.

      Wait, I thought it was Jomolungma? Was I misinformed?

        That is Tibetan name, which, to me, is as valid as Sagarmatha, as both Tibetan and Nepali live next to the mountain.
