This mountain appears on Ordnance Survey Ireland maps as Galtymore Mountain. A Google search yields about 11,100 results for Galtymore and about 1,200 results for Galteemore. Timeineurope 12:05, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And about 259 for "Galtymore Mountain", the proposed title. This is clearly not the most common name. Irish mountains are notoriously variable in their spellings, and in a case like this where the OSi is so clearly outnumbered, I don't think the move would be wise. There is room for discussion between "Galtymore" and "Galteemore", but "Galtymore Mountain" can be ruled out. --Stemonitis 16:56, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
