That's a cute list, Andrew.
Have you ever heard of Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, Alberta? But then I think it's a cool name.

Haha not until now. I presume it has Native ties? I love native dialects, no messing around, a spade is a spade.

Re: Worlds Worst Place Names
When I lived in Purley we used to visit Pratt's Bottom because I had a friend there. I always wondered why anyone would give a place a name like that.

Mrs AX has relatives in Dildo, NL. There's also a Dildo Island which is a lot less exciting than it sounds.

Re: Worlds Worst Place Names
There's a mountain by the Fraser Canyon in BC called 'The Nipple' Caused a chuckle amongst the pax as we flew around it. Another range up near Hazelton called 'The Nipples' and another 'Nipple Plateau'
Not sure what the fascination is, or who named them. Guess they wanted to get something off their chest.

Re: Worlds Worst Place Names
while on the subject how about this?
'Tetons' sounds awfully familiar.

'Early French voyageurs gave the name "les Trois Tétons" (the three breasts)'

Re: Worlds Worst Place Names
Newfoundland and Labrador has some of the very best place names in all of the world.
Just a few, off the top of my head....
Conception Bay, Heart's Content, Come by Chance, Joe Batt's Arm, Tiddley, Badger, Bra "dor ( Golden Arm ) Topsail, Wreck House, Desolation Cove.
Some of the most friendly people, in one of the most in-hospitable places in the world. Cold foggy and rocky, the Newfies are sure to be laughing and singing, even at 3 am in a driving rainstorm. I served with many of them in the Canadian Forces and if it wasn't for the Newfie senior NCOs , the whole lot would grind to a halt.
Funny buggers and great soldiers , too.
