Seems Bizer dropped labeling it as "nipple rock" for in an older Lake chart that we have hanging in our condo it is there in print -- yet as I look at a later edition I see it has been removed.
Not at the condo until the weekend, so can't tell you which edition is hanging, but it isn't THAT old (perhaps 3-4 years out of date)

As late as 2003, Bizer could find nothing in print, other than Duncan's map, where this rock had any name at all. Bizer assumes the off-color name that Granny perpetuates was derived from the fact that vandals occasionally paint Rock 46 to look like a female body part.
