Quaint/cute British place names

[Dr. Harry]

Help!

First, this is a great thread.

Second, My advice is to look through Shakespeare, and steal names from there. Since he was English, he was able to make people say these things with a straight face. Actually, I get most of my stuff from Asimov's Guide to Shakespeare (pretty common in the discount racks of B&N and like places).

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned "The Meaning of Liff" and "The Deeper Meaning of Liff" by Douglas Adams & John Lloyd.

The idea behind these books is to take some very silly place names (mostly British) and suggest dictionary style definitions as though they were words; very funny stuff. Of course the humour might break a serious RPG setting, but the place names are genuine.
