Mulga Springs Mulla Mulla Galah Crossing/Siding Cockatoo Roadhouse, Cockatoo Springs Rivergum Clearing In Australia, water is such a precious thing that many aboriginal names for places mean water. A name with a reference to water is appropriate.

In North Carolina near where I live we have a town called CLIMAX. It must be difficult for the ladies that live there to tell someone where they live.

All over India we have town names that end in '-bad'.
Ahmadabad, Aurangabad, Hyderabad etc. etc.
These are all that have been changed from the original names.
These are a legacy of the Mogul rulers.
The original names are now forgotten.
I hate these 'bad' names.
I am from India.
