But isn't falling over your tongue in the middle of the sidewalk a silly

Yuck! Pervert ;-)
One should do it in the privacy of one's own home, like it's supposed to.

How about Scheviningen? Isn't that the classic example?

I visited Aopen in the Netherlands last year.
They're based in a town called 's-Hertogenbosch.
How can you start a place name with apostrophe s then a dash !!!
Mad !!!! Most of the locals just call it Denbosch, which is a little easier
to figure !

I believe the first name means "the forest of the duke" and the second
just "the forest".
Something similar should happen with the official name of the Hague and
the common shortcut (something like "the yard of the count" and "the
yard" ... I'm actually not sure at all that "hage" or "haag" means
"yard" ... and I'm thinking of a specific kind of yard, which is the
central yard of a farm, but I'm doing that by analogy ... the Hague is
one of the cities whose name has a translated form in my mother language
(italian, and that is "L'Aia") and an "aia" is just that kind of yard
... but that refers to an italian farm, I do not know whether a typical
dutch farm will be arranged in the same way, I doubt it.

Well, here's one explanation that says it's pretty general. I'm sure there are
others.
"The origin of the name Hague
variant of Haig
1: Scots (Norman): habitation name from any of various places in Northern
France named from Old Norse hagi enclosure, a word with cognates in most
Germanic languages. 2: English: topographic name for someone who lived by an
hedged or fenced enclosure (Old English haga), or habitation name from a place
named with this word (or its Old Norse cognate hagi), especially three places
called Haigh, two in West Yorkshire and the other near Manchester. 3: in a few
cases perhaps, a local name from The Hague in the Netherlands, Dutch Den Haag,
from haag enclosure, a cognate of the Old Norse and Old English words.
Variant: Haigh (chiefly Yorkshire).
Cognates: Danish, Norwegian: Hagemann. Dutch: Haag, Haagen, Hageman, Hagen,
Hagenaar, Verhagen. Flemish: Van der Haeghe, Verhaeghe. Frisian: Haagsma.
German: Hag, Hage, H?ge; Hager, H?ger; Hagemann, Hegemann, Heggemann. Low
German: Haag. Swedish: Hageman, Hagman.
Diminutives: German: H?gle, Hegel, Hegel(e).
Compounds: Swedish: Hagberg (enclosure hill); Haglund (enclosure grove);
Hagstedt (enclosure homestead); Hagstrand (enclosure shore); Hagstr?m
(enclosure river)."
It was the first result when searging goog for
the hague origin
the urls is:

But the name of the city in the Netherlands is, far as I know, a shortening
of 's-Gravenhage.

Indeed. It's a Dutchification of the name of that famous Scot, Sir Gavin
Hague!
