Best place name?

[Layz92]

Don't take this as a literal statement of "best place name of all time". Just throw out some names that are either awesome or funny (and if you know it the phonetic phrase, that too).

My current favourite is Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso. Sadly I don't know how to say it, probably something vaguely french or dutch sounding. There are some funny Kiwi names I've heard but couldn't spell.

Phuket, Thailand.

Manly. I'd say that's a pretty awesome place name.

Happy Valley--Goose Bay, in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada, has always given me a chuckle.

Intercourse, Pennsylvania

from Wikipedia: " Because of the town's unusual name, the sign posts for the town are frequently targeted by thieves."

I lived in Manly, it was a pretty awesome place ontop of having an awesome manly name.

On topic: Bangkok. Many a giggle as a wee little boy from that one.

There's a town called Qum in Iran. I wonder if its inhabitants realize just how funny that is?

For me it has to be Zanzibar, just for how the word sounds.
