Unusual Place Names

English place names provide no end of fun for tourists and locals alike as the motor around the British countryside. Blubberhouses in Yorkshire is one of my favourites. Then there’s the rather unappealing Staines or the rather bizarre Leatherhead. Abroad, I’ve been intrigued to discover some places with names which sound peculiar in English (such as Silly, in Belgium), as well as those that simply have fascinating origins (for example, the name Singapore goes back to the Sanskrit Simhapura which means the ‘Lion City’). I’d love to hear some of your examples!
