This kind of thing has been intriguing to me beginning with the 1932 San Juan Mountaineer's Guide.
historical peaks list
List also appears in Colorado under the turquoise sky
Some very interesting names, even for 14ers, like Mount Simpson, Needle Mountain, Mount Lizard Head, etc. Also see 13er names like Frustum, Haynes, Silesia, Rowter. Wonder what peaks they referred to...
