The names of the nearby hamlets are going to have to go too. It's a shame the world has become this way.

At least it would give the majority or sellers a good giggle while they were packing the parcels.

If they were offended it is not the resident's problem....the name was probably in place long before they moved there.

Oh yes it can! There are those who live in (according to the Daily Mail)
"Tasmania is home to a number of outrageous place names like Lovely Bottom, Pisspot Creek, Prickly Bottom, Guys Dirty Hole and Ding Dong Rainforest. Other parts of Australia are home to equally hilarious names including Peculiar Knob in South Australia, Big Knob Waterhole in Northern Territory and The Boobs in NSW."
But wait, there are more.....

Not quite in the same league, but I've always fancied a visit to Nether Wallop.

Bogan Gate is in Bogan Shire. Some people tried to get the names changed, but the majority of locals told them to pish off. If someone is offended by the name of their town, they are free to leave at any time.

Useless Loop and Humpty Doo are rather interesting sounding places too.

I remember reading there is a town in England called Ugley.

They have a women's group which despite efforts to put the town name last is usually referred to as the Ugley Women's Institute.

As one member put it, "We tried to change it but it never sticks."

There's also a tube station on the Picadilly Line called C*ckfosters.
