    There's a place in Offally called Blueball. Seriously.

    Also one that makes me smile is Bunnyconnollan in Sligo ... Makes me think of bunny rabbits!

    Nurney, co Kildare. Every time I see the sign I wonder if I have just accidentally driven through an enchanted wardrobe.

    Everything in this thread.

    Hon. mention: Bod an Fhir Mhairbh (Dead Man's Penis), Co. Kerry.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    I wonder has any town ever decided it wanted to change its name? Not as in the Dingle/Daingain thing, but just change its name completely out of embarrassment.

    I've a feeling the English named a lot of these towns as a bit of a joke.
