Worst fantasy names in our Real World

[NotZenon]

Hey don't forget about Dildo, Newfoundland in Canada.

the Rocky Mountains

One of the most obvious, I forget when making my list. The largest mountain range in North America sounds like it was named by a 9 year old.

Tombstone, Arizona -- I've been there; it was like a pilgrimage for me

What fiction writer would dare be so unimaginative as to name the town of a famous and deadly gun battle, "Tombstone"? I mean, that would be like naming a church in the post-Armaggeddon world, "New Hope".

Is that near Come By Chance?

Practically everywhere in Cornwall sounds like a crappy fantasy place name. Way too many 'z's. Zennor, Marazion, Lizard, Pendeen. Probus and Goonhavern sound like something Gary Gygax would come up with.

Cornwall has the village of Greensplat. Therefore, Cornwall wins.

Don't forget every 12 year old boy's favorite the Grand Tetons, which some claim comes from the French for "Big Boobs".

Sheboygan (Wisconsin/Michigan)
Minnehaha Falls (Minnesota)
Licking Valley (Ohio)
Hoohoo, (West Virginia)
Ding Dong (Texas)


I am so glad there isn't a place called "Bumblef**k", because I use that town all the time when I am on road trips.

...a big BBQ mecha.

Isn't that a big robot powered by BBQ sauce?

 

[the Jester]

Not far from where I live is Hooker Creek Road.

The Paps of Jura. Paps means breasts. A fine pair, I'm sure you'll agree.
