Hi, I also like the name "Dufour".
There are also the old "Dufour" maps: see http://s.geo.admin.ch/09751c84f The problem is that the mountain called "Dufourspitze" is not yet on the maps that Dufour initiated/created. It was only named after his name. So - we could either use one of the old maps without the name "Dufourspitze" or the current map and ask Swisstopo for permission to use the new map. I can volunteer to ask Swisstopo for permission. I have some good connections. You just have to decide whether you want the old Dufour map (black and white, old style) or the current map (current/new style).
