Big River River. This is like in the UK when the Romans arrived and asked for the names of Rivers, they were told Avon. But that's just the Celtic word for river. So we have 5 separate river Avons and they are all called River River.
Naming a place just once is trash. They must be given a second name or even third appellation, and in the case of Pendleton Hill, a fourth christening.
