    Not a place name, but I never miss an opportunity to mention that Charles Dickens had an older sister called Fanny.

    Not the funniest ever, but made me think "oh Norman you old rascall". I wonder how our Mr Court earned that nickname

    Very close to where I grew up in Derbyshire, was a small place called Broadbottom, which always made me snigger as a child.

    Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa, Balnibarbi, Luggnagg, Glubbdubdrib and Houyhnhnms.  

    None of them real, of course.  But I thought I would mention them because they were all included in Gulliver's Travels, first published today in 1726.

    Sexmoan in the Philippines is one of my favourites. Then again, Thailand does quite well with Bangkok, Phuket and Bang Sue.

    There is a place in South Africa called Dududu.  I really wanted to append the road direction sign with ‘de Dadada’, but thought better of it.

    A few years back, in the Farnham (Surrey) area, there were 27 pubs, one called The Bat and Ball one called The Ball and Wicket and five called The Cricketers.
    I kid you not.
