Dildo, Newfoundland and Labrador

I believe we can declare this thread won.

There's also Dildo Head and Spread Eagle in the same region.

My favourites are the happy ones. Heart's Content, Heart's Desire, Heart's Delight, Fair Haven, Paradise, etc.

And the insulting ones. Petty Harbour, Witless Bay.

Elsewhere in Canada I think Medicine Hat, Red Deer, Moose Jaw, etc. are all really bizarre.

No offense but those seem bland and common. I was looking for names you don't see every day.

Yeah, true, I changed it to reflect more what I was looking for. I couldn't figure out what I wanted to call it originally.

One obvious one I forgot was Hong Kong. A name like that feeds right into the various stereotypes people have about the sounds and combinations of Mandarin words.

Sorry if it offends but sexual innuendos can be so childish or at the very least overdone. That said, Intercourse, PA and Fucking, Austria are names that humor me.
