Unusual village names

I've always been interested in placenames, so I'm starting this thread in order to pull in as many odd and unusual English and Welsh village names as possible. I recently spent some time staying in Saffron Walden (Essex) and there are many nearby villages and hamlets that merit a mention here:

In Hertfordshire: Nasty, Green Tye, Ugley, Ugley Green, Cradle End, Duck End

In Essex: Matching Tye, Shellow Bowells, Loves Green, Nine Ashes

In Cambridgeshire: Yelling, Bumble's Green

All very interesting and ultimately charming village names. It would be fascinating to trace the origin of these names if I only had the time to do so!

We pass lots along the way - will have a think! here are some off the top of my head -

Mousehole in Cornwall

Wyre Piddle and Pinvin in Worcestershire.

Then there's the Welsh (a substantial portion of my own ancestry)! My favorite Welsh town name is in Anglesey:

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Translation: The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave.

According to the BBC, the original name for this village was Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll, which means 'The Mary church by the pool near the white hazels,' but in the 19th century the name was substatially lengthened in order to draw in the tourist trade (visitors could have their photograph taken by the placard with the town name written on it!). The scheme appears to have been somewhat successful. 

Yikes!

Here are a couple more:

Goosey (Oxfordshire)

Halfway (Berkshire)--halfway to where?

Over (Cambridgeshire--lovely 13th c. church, though much restored by the Victorians; beautiful Victorian stained glass)

What a great idea for a thread, Rob. I agree with you, it would be fun to find out what the origin of some of these names are.

We even have a few odd ones in the US:

Of yep that is it, Pennsylvania
Jackass Meadows, Idaho
Intercourse, Alabama not to get confused with Seman, Alabama (only in AL folks! lol)
Turkey Foot, Florida

Well, its its the same Halfway I'm thinking of Rob, its halfway to Hungerford or halfway to Newbury depending on which way you're going. Though I suspect isn't not really halfway to either.

Two more in Berkshire----Amen Corner and Inkpen.

Upper Dicker, East Sussex

Twatt, Shetlands

Shitterton, Dorset

Upper and Lower Slaughter, Cotswolds

Crackpot, North Yorkshire

Thanks, Diana. Of course, there is always Hell, Michigan. There is also Christmas, Michigan way up in the Upper Peninsula where many people send their Christmas cards to be postmarked!
