I'm a bit bored at work... does anyone live in or near any funny or interesting place names?

I used to live in a town called "Waipu" (pronounced "Why-Poo").

The neighbouring district is called "Rodney". That needs no explaination.

Nice

I heard a story (don't know if its true) that a couple of guys who lived in the town of Muff (below) opened up a diving centre. i think you can guess the name they chose. The council forced them to change their name.

Awesome! A former Kiwi!
I remember coming up with a really good slogan for Waipu's tourist industry, (not that there's anything to do there.)
"Waipu? Because you've gotta go!"
Classic eh?

I like the mythical New Zealand place name of "Waikikamukau". To bad it dosn't exist.
I remember being lost in Rotorua looking for a Hotel. We found the name of the street - "Whakawi Street" to which my Dad exclaimed "WHERE THE WHAKAWI!?"
(N.B: in Maori 'wh' is pronounced 'f'.)

And if you really want to explore New Zealand, you could always go to Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu.
I hear it's a nice place.

You fail to mention that most people just know it as "Wang".

Not quite as hilarious as some other towns mentioned, but there's a town (in SA, I think) called "Speed". The welcome sign reads "Welcome to Speed! Please slow down.". We have a photo, somewhere........

Yeah its a bit of a mouthful for a place name. God knows what they were thinking when they decided to name a place that. It roughly translates to the following.

The brow [or summit] of the hill [or place], where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid [down], climbed [up] and swallowed mountains, [to travel the land], [who is] known as the land eater, played [on] his [nose] flute to his loved one.

There's a place on the Orkney Islands (Just above Scotland, still classed as part of Scotland though ) called Upper Twatt..

And someone forgot to mention the place called Myanus (featured in Jackass)

Longest city name with 167 letters ist the poetic name of Bangkok and it's usually abbreviated to "Krung Thep" or "City of Angels":

"Krung thep mahanakhon bovorn ratanakosin mahintharayutthaya mahadilok pop noparatratchathani burirom udomratchanivetmahasathan amornpiman avatarnsathit sakkathattiyavisnukarmprasit"

A Bangkok wordsmith, Theppitak Karoonboonyanan who said the correct spelling (163 letters) is:

"Krungthepmahanakornamornratanakosinmahintarayutthayamahadilokphop
nopparatrajathaniburiromudomrajaniwesmahasatharn
amornphimarnavatarnsathitsakkattiyavisanukamprasit."

translated them as:

"The great city of angels, the supreme unconqueralble land of the great immortal divinity (Indra), the royal capital of nine noble gems, the pleasant city, with plenty of grand royal palaces, and divine paradises for the reincarnated deity (Vishnu), given by Indra and created by the god of crafting (Visnukarma)"

There is a 'St. Louis Du Ha Ha' in Quebec, and joker left out a few funny Newfoundland place names like Conception Bay, Piccadilly, Back Tickle, Placentia, Pushthrough, Blow Me Down, and others, although many of these are probably not used anymore

Another great one is "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch".

It's located in North Wales and means: "The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave."

By the way, name was given in the early 19th century by a local humourist.

ROFL! They also have a website. Here's the link:
