GUEST,Songbob BS: The oddest named city of them all... (84* d) RE: BS: The oddest named city of them all... 27 Sep 11

Little Whinging, Surrey (or is it Sussex) appears to be the home of some now-famous wizard named "Potter."

I always thought the name was clever, and over the heads of most US readers. As was the Black house -- "Grimmauld Place" (pronounced "Grim Old Place").

But my favorite name, in this case, a business name, was in "Toy Story," where the house was being sold by "Virtual Realty."

Admittedly, real place-names can be as charming, but most of the good 'uns has already been mentioned above.

Hence my retreat into pop culture.

Bob
