15 Places Around The World With The Weirdest Names

William Shakespeare once said – What’s in a name?

Well, I have no idea what was the context when he said this. Because a lot of names that we have here have some deep correlation with some of the most erotic words. Others make no sense at all. In the end, all I can say is – a name signifies a lot of things – be it for a place or a person.

1. Dildo

It is on the island of Newfoundland, Canada. Though how this name came to be is unknown.

2. Fucking

Guessing what the favorite activity would be? It’s a village in Austria around 40 Kms from Salzburg. Surprisingly tourists used to steal the sign boards as a souvenir until 2005.

3. Intercourse

It’s a village in Lancaster County in Pennsylvania, US. It was earlier known as ‘Cross Keys’.

Now when someone says ‘Go to hell’ – this is where you should come. There are two places by the same name – Hell community of Livingstone county in Michigan, USA and a village in Norway.

5. Accident

It’s a part of Garrett County in Maryland, USA. The people who live here are called ‘Accidentals’.

13. Why

That’s my question as well. Why? It’s a community in Arizona, USA.

14. Whynot

The origin of the name came from residents debating a title for their community in North Carolina, USA. A man asked, “Why not name the town Whynot and let’s go home?”

15. Condom

Don’t think in the direction you are thinking right now. The name of this town in France has nothing to do with the English word ‘Condom’. Because the french word for Condom is préservatif. 😉
