Hot on the news that the Camerons have given their new baby the name Endellion, after the place in Cornwall - places you wouldn't want to name your daughter after:
Essex
Dudley
Loose
Pity Me
Dingley
Booze
Glasgow
Westward Ho!
Garboldisham
Frisby-on-the-Wreake
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Glasgow? And why not, pray. beter than Frisby on Soar any day of the week....!
I thought they might have opted for...
Tiggy Oggy
or
Mivvy
or
Vanilla
myself
Pratts Bottom should have a place on the list too :-)
How about "Twatt" on Shetland?
Never mind:
Piddletrenthide (suitable for a baby?)
Slack
Brawl
Crackpot
Clowne
and many others equally suitable ...
Consulting 'The meaning of liff' by Douglas Adams, may he rest in peace, and David Lloyd, will show many more delightful place names. How about Spittal of Glenshee? Or Badgebup? Excellent choices, I would have thought.
Nor Ugley or Spittle-in-the-street
