I'd imagine that getting evidence from someone else on their names would count
too. For instance, if I asked the uk.rec.walking newsgroup (full of people
who climb mountains on a regular basis) what the names of said peaks were
(having described the peaks by approximate location) that would provide
evidence of the name which did not arise from a copyrighted map.
