Oh yeah, my brother has a book called "Rude World" and most of those are in it. Fabulous all, but for some reason I prefer British ones like "Dull," "Nasty" and "Fryup." There are quite a few down in your corner of the world!

That is superb!
My favourite road sign points to a place called Tiptoe, Hampshire. The sign actually reads, "Tiptoe only- 3/4"

Bigot. Vobster. Piddletrenthide. Wool. Hanging Langford. Owermoigne. Knook. Palestine. New Zealand. Wales. Canada. Nether Wallop. Lover. Mockbeggar. Tidpit. And that's not including the variously named 'Ann' and 'Stacey' villages near Andover.
Personally I'm jealous of the Sussex '-ing' places though: Angmering, Poling, Ferring, Patching, Worthing etc.

I think there's a place in Norway called 'A'.

There's a place in France called Y, which basically means "there" and a place in Japan called "O" I like -ings as well (-ing appears to be a West Suffix, but in Surrey we have our fair share of -ings too: Dorking, Woking, Godalming etc) My boss drew my attention yesterday, when he should have been working, to this list of tautological place names which is surprisingly amusing en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tautological_place_names The hill ones are the best, e.g. Bredon on the Hill, which means "Hill Hill on the Hill" and Torpenhow Hill, which simply means "Hill Hill Hill Hill"! I also like Beechhurst Holt Wood, which means "Beechwood Woodwood" -possibly related to Edward ;D And Eas Fors Waterfall means "waterfall waterfall waterfall"

And, of course, there are all those River Avons!

Might I offer you Wetwang? Thwing is nearby. I LOVE Yorkshire! And, for no reason whatsoever, might I also confirm that I have sat atop Lord Berkeley's Knob.

My geography database suggests Fücking, Austria and Pant-y-Wacco, Fflintshire. Wales is also good for names that some humans find ridiculously unpronounceable. stop

I've noticed that the form guide printed beside the league table in our programme looks rather like a list of Welsh place names: LLWDDW, LLDWDD, etc.
