Duplicate Mountain Names

I've noticed in several threads there are mountains with the same names in different areas of the world (ok, North America anyway). Some that I have noticed are:

Blue: PA, Canada and I think there is another
Black: ME and NH
Hidden Valley: NJ and several others
Holiday Valley/Mountain: I think there are 2 in NY

Do you know of others? Is my list above accurate?

I grew up skiing at Mt. Brighton in Michigan, and now I live by Brighton in Utah...

Yes, Crystal Mountain in WA and also in MI.

You know I never associated it with ice! Maybe because we don't have that much.

There's THE Alta in Utah, and also a (much smaller) Alta in the Laurentians of Quebec. Regulars at small Alta are passionate about their hill and its ungroomed, treed, gnarly terrain.

I work in the Whitfish Mountain Resort which used to be called Big Mountain in Whitefish Montana. But, we were always mixed with Big SkY Montana---there were even people who showed up here in Whitefish who had reservations at Big Sky!!

So, last year, they brought in Branders who decided that we will be Whitefish Mountain Resort!! I like our new logos, etc.

I understand the theory and I'll get over the name change eventually, but would have preferred something more "ferocious" like Hellroaring Peak or whatever.
