  • Weird and wonderful place names

    So this week on my work travels,I have had the joy of passing through Dog Village, Westward Ho! and Wobbly Wheel.
    Other exciting place names close to my home village so far are
    Sticker,He Was Water,London Apprentice,Indian Queens,Come to Good and the Lizard,
    Harrowbarrow and Wishing Well.
    And visiting one of my friends,in her village there is the delightfully named street of Titty Ho!

    Share your bizarre place names with us

    There's a little town (a census-designated place, really) just outside of Glenwood Canyon called 'No Name'.

      I always thought Truth and Consequences was a weird name for a city.

      Also in Ontario, there is a lake that is known only as "That Lake".

        Lister: This is Crazy. Why are we talking about going to bed with Wilma Flintstone?
        Cat: You're right. We're Nuts! This is an insane conversation....
        Lister: She'll never leave Fred and we know it.

                Near me are Horneytown and Climax, NC. I've also been to Cumming, GA.
                This site proves Corey Taylor right. Man really is a "four letter word."

                  The first weird place name that popped into my mind was Two Egg, Florida.

                    I always loved the name of a town near mom and dad, Bonerlaw.

                      *sigh* Here we go. (Not all of them are naughty. Some are just - strange.) In Australia we have:

                      Boing Boing, NT
                      Bong Bong, NSW
                      Chinaman's Knob, NSW and VIC (okay, so we have two Knobs! Oh, and we also have Delicate Knobby in NSW as well, which tells you a lot about that state's state)
                      Come By Chance, NSW
                      Daipur, VIC
                      Disappointment Hill, WA (there is also Mount Disappointment in VIC and Lake Disappointment, also in WA. Tells you a lot about the mindset of the early explorers)
                      Humpybong, QLD
                      Humptydoo, NT
                      Innalo (pronounced Innaloo) Fresh, WA
                      Mount Buggery, VIC
                      Nowhere Else (Ironically there are two of them, in Tassie and SA)
                      Poowong, VIC
                      Tittybong, VIC
                      Useless Inlet, WA (they also have Useless Loop in the same state. I'm sensing a pattern)
                      Woody Head, NSW
                      Yorkey's Knob, QLD (okay, fine, three knobs! Now you know why Australians don't need to boast...)
                      "Bring me knitting!" (The Doctor - not the one you were expecting)
