There is a very small town, nay a village, in Anglesey in North Wales called:
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerwchwyndrobwll-Llantisiliogogogoch
There are more letters in the name than people living there. The nameplate at the railway station is longer than the platform.

In the Netherlands (Friesland to be more precise) there's a place called:
Sexbierum (Sex+Beer+Rum). Nice place to be (Friesland I mean).
There's also somewhere -well, not a place but a water body-
Oost Friese Gaatje (East Frisian Hole)
There must be many more "holes" in the water at other places as well.
And talking about Hell, I remember "the doors of Hell" somewhere between
the island Texel and North-Holland. Sounds like a warning NOT to go
sailing there when the wind is from the North-west at 8 beaufort (been
there, done that, which I can't say about Sexbierum)

There are two ways to pronounce such names:
1) Get extremely drunk and then start talking naturally
2) Gargle as you vomit.
(Although, some might say that (2) is a natural progression from (1), I'll
refrain from commenting further)
In fact, some say that the sounds made in either (1) or (2) were the
inspiration for most Welsh town names.

I think the place names in Finland are something unbelievable.
I'll give you a few examples, with translation:
Onpahanvaanlampi = Itisjustapool (my favourite)
Kivesjarvi = Bollocklake
Vitunpesulampi = Cuntwashingpool
Saaranpaskomasaari = Island-Shitted-By-Sarah
Kusipaa = Pisshead (a hilltop in Lapland)
.. and these are just a few examples. A little anecdote:
There's a place in Finland called "Impio" which could be translated as
"Virginia" (a place with virgins...)

In western Victoria (Australia) there's a small town called SPEED and as
with
most towns in the country there's a "Please slow down" sign underneath
the town name.
They keep getting their signs stolen as it reads

1992. Mikhail Gorbachev brought perestroika to the USSR, and admitted that
alcoholism was a serious problem.
Meanwhile, I went on holiday to Germany and found that there was a vodka on
sale called "Gorbatschow".
(The English attempt to mis-spell the former USSR's leader's name is

Actually, that brand is very old. It goes back to revolutionary times
when a Russian vodka producer by that very name emmigrated to Berlin.
But you can buy another vodka in Germany, and they gave it the brand
name Jelzin.
And speaking of drinks, there was a couple here that made the news when
they wanted to name their daughter Pepsi Carola.

Did anyone mention "Packenham Upper" in Victoria (Aust)? It's just down
the road from Cockatoo.

Get a biography of Lear, the guy who invented the 8-track tape, Lear
Jet, etc. His daughter's name is Shanda.

daugher for her because they had written female. To this day, there is

My wife taught a kid whose name was pronounced Luh-mon'-juh-low. It was
spelled Lemonjello.
There is a kid attending high school near hear whose first name is
pronounced Shuh-theed'. It is spelled Shithead.

I once worked with a Vietnamese called Ver Minh (not sure about spelling
of "Ver", but that's how it was pronounced. We called him "Ratty"...

That's nothing, my mom wanted to name me Ron, but my dad
prefered Moe, so they called me Moe Ron. My aunt and uncle
had a similar dilemma and named my cousin Moe Lester.
If you hadn't noticed, my last name is Brown. My folks
had twins after me. One was the typically fair skinned
Irish lad, but the other was a little darker. They
named them Light and Dark.
Dark became a journalist in Chicago. He's Dark Brown
from the Sun. The other twin started his own company
that makes Light Brown Syrup.

I heard of a woman named King, who didn't know what to name her son,
until she saw the sign posted near her hospital room...
The boy was finally named Nosmo King.

Well, my family name (in hebrew) literally means 'pepper'. I was an
Sgt. Pepper during my military service and my dad is Dr. Pepper. Beat
that.
Another one: My brother had a friend in the army whose family name is
Wilde. His mother's name is Chaya - quite a common hebrew name. In the
phone book she is listed as Wilde Chaya - in Yiddish, a "wild animal".
My brother recalls the following conversation between them:
-Wilde [the son], do you mind if I tell the rest of the platoon what
your mother's name is?
-No.
-Will you talk to me afterwards?
-No.

I want to see your sources, or pointers to some kind of town records.

Some years ago (verging on many ... in truth :) a family by the name
of Cockburn turned up in my home town. Naturally, the lad of the family
suffered dreadfully at school from a plethora of obvious nick-names.
So much so that eventually his parents were prevailed upon to change
the spelling of their name to the more phonetic "Coburn".
ObJoke:
Two nuns drove to the supermarket in the convent's red Mini Minor to do
the weekly shopping. Being Christmas eve, the car park was packed out
so one nun rushed inside while the other continued driving around looking
for a parking spot.
The first nun finished her shopping and returned to the car park
to look for her colleague. Being a very large car park, she
hopefully asked a man standing nearby if he had happened to see
'a nun in a red Mini?'
He replied: 'Not since I signed the pledge.'

I was at school with a Richard Head -- long before "dickhead" was a form
of abuse in that country...
I have taught a Theresa Green and a pair of sisters called Psychedele

In my school it was considered hilarious to get someone new (preferably a
female substitute teacher) to stand up in front of a class - or get on the
intercom - and ask for Mike Hunt. "Is Mike Hunt here? Where is Mike Hunt?"
