Ever seen a name that instantly sounds obscene but was unintended? I was looking at Florida State Parks and found a great one. It got me thinking of other names I've seen over the years. Here's a short list. Anyone else got some good ones?
Letchworth Love Mounds - a Florida state park near Tallahassee
bistable multivibrator - an electronics circuit
Dixie Darlings Escort Service - two girls that ran an oversized vehicle escort service
Giant Sized Man-Thing - an oversized issue of Marvel Comics swamp creature Man-Thing
There is also a Climax, Saskatchewan in Canada. I have been there and can report that nothing climactic happens in that place. My favourite name in Canada is Dildo, Newfoundland.
Climax, Michigan is only a short distance away from Colon, MI. My experience with a colonoscopy suggests these two towns should be much further apart but others may disagree.
There is Fucking, Austria. I go on Wikipedia a lot and hit the random article function and got it once, which was weird. Of course, they use the German pronunciation.
Here in Kentucky we have a Big Bone Lick state park. I've got to start telling the girls I am from there. "I'm from Big Bone Lick. Are you familiar with that area?"

There's a hospital in Dallas named for a guy who's last name is Dedman. It's shortened to his initials, RHD Hospital.
