Articles on weird place names tend to do the rounds almost yearly. There are some great place names in the UK, especially. For example: Bitchfield, Boggy Bottom, Penistone, Titty Hill and believe me, the list goes on!
I’ve just completed a section on this very subject in my nearly finished book, Name your House or Property. I’ve looked into rude-ish names from all over the world. This section of my book is titled, What NOT to Name your House.
I didn’t really have to look far for odd names, as there are some places near where I live, that have highly unusual names such as : Curly Dick Road, Bastard Point Road and one I discovered recently whilst checking out some local real estate, Mount Horrible! (I don’t envy the real estate agent selling that!) Oh well, could be worse, I could live near Poo (a place in India), Bum (Sierra Leone), Mianus (USA), Rooty Hill in NSW Australia (‘root’ being a slang term for sex) and then of course there is F*%king in Austria… I think these people need my book.
