Funny town names

Ah, funny town names... unfortunately there are a lot of them in Denmark. I guess Danish people are retards when it comes to naming towns and such, but let's not get into that :P Do you know any town names that are funny or maybe just weird? - well, then list them here and let everyone else laugh about them too.

Here are some from Denmark (I'll first write them in Danish, and then what they directly translate into in English):

- Tarm (Intestine)
- Lem (Limb)
- Sæd (Sperm)
- Esbjerg (Ace Mountain)
- Næstved (Next to)
- Ålborg (Eel Castle)
- Århus (Year House)
- Støvring (Ring of Dust)
- Hals (Neck)
- Skive (Slice)
- København (Buy a Habour)
- Vejen (The Road)
- Middelfart (Medium Speed)
- Ølgod (Good Beer)

Breast (I'm not sure if you spell it that way but it sure is pronnounced like that) and Mianus are the only two I can think off the top of my head.

I'll quote a Finnish comedian and say these towns, though I'll translate them literally into English this time, not Swedish.

- Voikoski (Butter hurt me)
- Vammala (Disability)

Some others:

- Jyväskylä (Seed village, Ultimecia would love these :p)
- Korvatunturi (Ear mountain)
- Koskenkorva (read: booze)
- Lima (the capital of Peru, it's also Finnish and means "slime")
- Raippaluoto (Whip rock)
- Tervajoki (Tar river)

Sorry to all the Finns and Peruvian people here if I made fun of your home town. :p

It's not a city but over here there's a jail... built on Purgatory Flats. The name of the jail? You guessed it, Purgatory.

Well, I don't have any funny town names hand, but I do come from a county called CORK. There's a common joke here in Ireland that if the entire country ever sank under water, we'd be the only county to stay afloat... ¬_¬

A great town is Intercourse, Pennsylvania. I got a postcard from that place and it used it for a project in school. :D

Oh, on topic; I drove through a village called 'Wangford' today. And because I'm so immature, I couldn't help but giggle.

yea well i live in denmark and they have some very strange names.. but i dont not beileve there is such place as SÆD-sperm.. i dont beileve that exsists. I could be wrong... hey wait a minute.. Retards?? i dont think so. The danish lanauge is the second hardest in the world, they names of the towns are not strange to them, cause it does not have the same meaning, its just a name...

There is a town called Sæd (sperm) in Denmark. Well, maybe "retards" is a harsh word to use, but they were certainly not smart about it when they had to name those towns.

Yes, well.......I live in Denmark too & am taking my HGV (Heavy goods vehicle) licence at the moment & a RETARD is an auxiliary braking system, usually mounted on the propshaft of the vehicle!

I`ve never heard of a town called Sæd........but live just down the road from a place called Sædder (Sperms).
Two omissions from the list have got to be Balle (buttock) and Baaring (pronounced Boring!).
By the way.....Lem can mean both Limb AND Penis!

Here´s one that´s not a town name, but funny anyway: Begivenhed (A happening or event!) Quite so........lol
