Live near any fantasy-sounding places? List 'em here!

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Nearby me there is North Druid Hills. I recall once one of my friends claimed he was going out into the woods to consult with the North Druid. I think he was actually just taking a smoke break.

I used to live in Druid Hills (Decatur), just off North Druid Hills Road! It isn't too far from Stone Mountain, which as everyone knows is hollow and inhabited by kobolds.

Now I live in another place with a good fantasy name ... Lake Hopatcong (say it three times fast) ... which contains the spooky and mist-shrouded Raccoon Island, where I'm sure can still be found some old pirate swag.

Pig's Eye (Early name of city that became St. Paul, Minnesota)

I think a bunch of people could likely list places that are accepted as common names if they new the Indian language translation, for instance:

Minnehaha (translation: Laughing Water)
Minnesota (translation: Sky-colored Water)

I think a bunch of people could likely list places that are accepted as common names if they new the Indian language translation, for instance:

Dude if we did that then every placename in existence could be listed

take my own local area we have

Te Huri-taniwha = 'Sea Monsters Turnabout'
Waitangi = 'Weeping Waters'
Ruapekapeka = "The Bat Cave'
