Hey Maverick, how's it going?
There are actually many peaks (passes and other features) that have both commonly used, as well as less commonly used names, that have never been approved by, or even submitted to, the BNG (U.S. Board on Geographic Names). These would include: as you mentioned Morgenson, as well as Mt Carl Heller, Bartholomew, Sharsmith, Tom Ross and most recently, Brower, to name but a few.
Many other names come about when guidebook writers create names with some disregard to local, historical nomenclature.
