Quebec, you say?

[Madame Adequate]

List some places with improbable names; (Yes, this is cultural shortsightedness. I'm laughing at foreigners. They are free to laugh at names like 'Carswick' and 'Skegness'.)


Quebec.
Licking.
Booti Booti National Park.
Bongoville.
Hell For Certain.
Mars. (Pennsylvania.)
Sexsmith.

Obviously, I don't need to remind you to keep it clean. Yes, we all know about the places with rude names - keep those for not EoFF, because the mods are hardcore and don't tolerate anything hardcore. Capice? (Edit: Removed one which made the prior statement hypocritical.)

I liked Skegness
I always laughed at Weston-super-Mare when I was a kid. I imagined some mad superhero horse!

I have a vague memory of my teacher in Canadian History saying where they got Québec from, though I can no longer remember, perhaps from a Native American word...*looks it up* I am so used to the word that I find it quite natural.

Found it, for anyone who cares: "Algonquin word meaning "strait" or 'narrowing'"

Bala Cynwyd, PA is the weirdest American city name I know. I mean, wtf did they come up with that name? Must have been founded by Welsh settlers.

My favourite is Ding Dong, Texas.

It's a lot less silly now that I know it's Native and not French.

Ah well, still silly.

Westward Ho!

Only town in England with an exclamation mark; when I first saw the coach going there, I thought it was some kind of special service covering towns to the west.
