Yorkshire and Lancashire between them seem to get their fair share:

Wetwang in Yorkshire still makes me laugh now.

and of course, ----ide, and Nob Hill in Lancashire.

You're right Phil - the arms was a good bet for this!

i reckon they had a sense of humour a few years ago up this way when they were naming places i suppose back then over half the population could not read so it was maybe even a bit of tongue in cheek when they were naming towns and villages

You could be right.

the austria one cracks me up.

Perhaps the most famous village in Austria. It was founded around the 6th century by a Bavarian nobleman known as Focko and over the years, evolved from Vucchingen, Fukching, Fugkhing into ****ing. Locals were seemingly unaware of its English meaning until World War II, when they noticed an increasing number British and American soldiers getting photographed in various poses next to the entrance sign. Soon enough, to the ire of the villagers, tourists were visiting in hordes and asking for “****ing Postcards” and stealing the road signs. To put the icing on the cake, the village council installed a sign beneath one of the “****ing” signs with” Bitte – nicht so schnell!” (Please not so fast) written on it. Recently, the town has seemingly accepted its notoriety and hosted a music festival called “Festival of the **** Bands”.
