With the acme now established, what to name the aiguille was acutely the abutting challenge. While the analysis was afraid to bottle bounded names if accessible (e.g. Kangchenjunga and Dhaulagiri), Waugh argued that he could not acquisition any frequently acclimated
bounded name. Waugh's chase for a bounded name was bedfast by Nepal and Tibet's exclusion of foreigners. Abounding bounded names existed, including "Deodungha" ("Holy Mountain") in Darjeeling12 and the Tibetan "Chomolungma", which appeared on a 1733 map appear in Paris by the French geographer D'Anville. In the backward 19th century, abounding European cartographers added believed (incorrectly) that a built-in name for the abundance was "Gaurisankar",13. (Gauri Sankar is a abundance amid Kathmandu and Everest.)
Waugh argued that with the deluge of bounded names, it would be difficult to favour one name over all others. So, he absitively that Aiguille XV should be called afterwards George Everest, his antecedent as Surveyor General of India.914 He wrote
:
I was accomplished by my admired arch and predecessor, Colonel Sir George Everest to accredit to every bounded article its accurate bounded or built-in appellation. But actuality is a mountain, best apparently the accomplished in the world, after any bounded name that we can discover, whose built-in appellation, if it has any, will not actual acceptable be absolute afore we are accustomed to access into Nepal.
