I'd google some of those - I'm sure I recognise a couple of them. That's always a risk with these genres.

As far as that mountain range of yours goes, how about giving it a multitude of names? For an IRL example, look at what we in Briterland know as the Falkland Islands, known by the Argentines as the Islas Malvinas. Or what Japan calls the Senkaku islands, China calls the Diaoyu, Thailand calls the Diaoyutai and the rest of us call the Pinnacles.

This mountain range could've been associated a group of adventurers who performed some sort of deed/banished some sort of evil there. Each of the surrounding kingdoms claim these mountains, and have their own name for it, based on the adventurer who came from their kingdom or the one they identify with the most. The story's yours to come up with, but this could be one way for such a disagreement to come about.

With that in mind, here's some names for them:

Visius' Glory.

Oddgod's Rest (for a kingdom who later deified their hero).

Morning's Finger (for a kingdom lying to the east of these mountains, for whom one of the mountains' shadow casts a "finger" across their capital - presuming the sun rises in the east in your world).

Mountains-In-Which-The-Great-Wizard-Melciok-Whose-Name-Shall-Be-Spoken-Only-At-Noon-In-Whispers-And-Shrieks-Faced-The-Beast-With-The-Name-Of-Numbers-And-Gestures-With-His-Staff-Of-Calculation-And-Discussion-And-Won-Great-Victory-Over-It (for a kingdom who, like the Welsh and the Thai, has a fascinating habit of compounding whole sentences into words and place-names. I do this a lot in my own writing, so I won't be too upset if you don't use it :P)

And for a fourth kingdom who lies far, far away and swears blindly that they an adventurer from their kingdom was involved in the battle: Forgotten Huffbert. Nobody listens to these guys, and everyone rather doubts Huffbert was a real figure.
