It seem we are not alone with silly names, there's a lot of humour in the world Razz

Wetwang, Yorkshire
Bald Knob, Arkansas, United States
Cockup, Cumbria, England
Middelfart, Denmark
Shitterton, Dorset, England

And last but not least,

Fucking, Austria
The people who live in Fucking, Austria had a vote in 2004 to determine whether or not they should change the town’s name, and you know what they did? They voted against it, preferring instead to put up with international ridicule, numerous stolen road-signs and horrific Google results.
