Upon typing on another thread the name New Zealand I mused if there's a Zealand somewhere. I then got to thinking on all the daft names places are called; Newfoundland because it was newly found, Christmas island because they found it on christmas. Not to mention all those 'indigenous' names that when translated mean things like "what? It's a river!" Or "mountain, stupid!"
So what's the strangest place names you've ever heard of? |

The fact that there are only so many syllables available to us as humans means that certain ones are going to be repeated... A friend of mine showed me his jar of pickled clits from China! |

did it take him ages to find them..?
and then when he eats them does he do so with great vigour, sometimes a bit roughly..?

Yes, in the Netherlands, Zeeland.
New Zealand got it's name from a Dutch guy, who didn't land cos the natives were a bit restless. |
