There is a place in Cornwall called Brown Willy, sounds like an interesting place to go! Also I have heard of Peas Pottage which is quite funny in a cute kind of way

In a town named "Jayuya" (Caribbean Indian word) in Puerto Rico there's a food place named "El K-rajo" that sounds in Spanish like "The Hell" or go to the hell. I just remember a community not far from my mom's home town that the name is "El hoyo de la vaca" (The cow's hole), I'd never asked my mom if she ever knew why it was that name for because I don't want to hear the answer.

I grew up in a place called Talihina (Tahl - eh - hee' - nah), in Southeast Oklahoma. The name is a Choctaw Indian word meaning iron horse after the trains that stopped at the rail road depot around which the town grew up.

There's a place in Essex (UK) called Ugley. There used to be lots of jokes about the Ugley Womens Institute.
