(Mount) Katahdin
Linguist here. You will find the following article very informative: List of tautological place names. Also, see WP:TITLE. On Wikipedia, we generally use the most common unambiguous English name for a subject, not the most prescriptively correct name.

Mount Katahdin is already on the list of tautological place names, so you have nothing to worry about&mdash;it's already documented in the encyclopedia that the name is a bit odd.

Cheers.
