MJ, I'd go with Tundra Mountain because it is less confusing and rolls off the tongue easier.  Ilgachuz is probably a First Nation/Native Ameican word which is more of a tongue twister and unfamiliar to English speakers.  And who knows what its original meaning might be?

Also, if someone is hypersensitive to that sort of thing you could be accused of "cultural appropriation" if you use a 1st Nation name without having the appropriate genetics.

I agree with George with a possible exception. If your clientele will be primarily 1st. nation then perhaps a 1st. nation name  makes sense. Tundra Mountain does have a pleasant sound as might Tundra Range.

Great, now im making up songs about goin on up to anvil mountain.

Keep it simple to think of or remember. 

"I can hear that anvil's ring a-coming down the mountain. . . "

Or, "Loving you is like carrying an anvil up a mountain. . ."

Frosty The Lucky.

"I hear that anvil ringing; it's driving me 'round the bend.
I haven't set a drop-tongs weld since I don't know when.
Oh, I overheated my workpiece, just to watch it burn.
I'm a novice trying to make a sword; I guess I'll never learn."

-- "Folsom Prison Blacksmith"

Funny thing that a number of American Prisons did  blacksmithing with their prisoners. "The American Prison: from the beginning...A Pictorial History"  even has pictures of multi forge setups.

thanks all 

George I didn't think of that, as I would've considered it Cultural Appreciation as it is recognizing a landmark, but I guess these days even if you don't offend the people its concerning someone else will be offended for them 

messing around online the closes thing I could find was a Tundra Mountain ranch in Colorado. I checked on the BC name request registry and there was 24 names coming up that started with Tundra but nothing close, for some reason if I turned it from ironwork to blacksmith or blacksmithing they turned up no similar results. also found I could end it with "Co."

thus there is in my mind now preferred ideas, though I prefer the first i am open to others ideas.

MJ, I think I'd go with Tundra Mountain Blacksmithing because you are not a large enough operation (yet) to be a "company."  You can always add "Co" later if you want to.  I'd say that you have to have employees to be a company and possibly need to be incorporated.

I will refrain from commenting on cultural appropriation or similar issues because I would REALLY be violating the terms of service and getting into political discussion.  I'll save that rant for a different time and place.  I'l just say that it is something to be aware of and that it can legitimately offend some folk and is a point of vulnerability and criticism that is best avoided.

If only because it takes time, energy, and attention away from other aspects of your business that actually have the potential to generate profit.
