"I sorta like Wapping, Barking, and Dorking, all places in or near London, England."

I understand the Margaret Thatcher's nickname in certain circles was "Daggers," which is two stops past Barking.

There's a lake in Massachusetts (and possibly a town nearby) named Charchoggagogmanchoggagogcharbunagungamog, which was literally a peace treaty and place name at once, meaning "you fish your side, we fish our side, no one fish the middle".

And all American Indian place names translate as "big river," (except those that don't, like "Iowa," which means "us" or "here").

And I recall seeing it on TV when Truth or Consequences changed its name. That does make me old, don't it?
