Rattlesnake Island has always been Rattlesnake Island, and for as many people involved in a discussion of its name you will have as many theories, maybe more !!

However, if you 'google' Ratlesnake Mountain you will find a small mountain range north of Squam Lake named 'The Rattlesnakes'.

(So, the intrigue continues!)
