This song is all you need:
Umm, so this is a song about Newfoundland and we wrote it about the place names and all you have to know is that all the place names in this song are real place names that we found in an atlas, 'cause we can read!
Yeah, we can read!
Yeah, literacy!

Oh Newfoundland, oh Newfoundland, ya island in the sea
I love you oh so very much, I joined the Ministry
To show you people 'round the rock when tourist season's here
Although in my opinion it's a gem throughout the year
Well if you're one for swimming, don't think it's outta reach
You can go and take a dip along Groswater Beach
I know the name's misleading, that's quite a problem here
Instead let's go to Goobies, and have ourselves a beer

From Woody Point to Come-By-Chance to good ol' Ferryland
Come take a look at Gander, Blackhead's mighty grand
Don't let the names deceive you, Newfoundland's mighty fine
So spend a night on Dildo if you think you've got the time

Well you can go to Blow-Me-Down before it get's to dark (GASP)
Oh sorry ma'am, I should have said, that's our provincial park
There's also Whippet Harbour, or maybe Butter Pot
Or maybe I'll just hit the pub I'm feeling like a shot
Well you can sail on Quidi Vidi, or look at Joe Batt's Arm
There's Placentia and there's Cow Head (MOOO!), they're so full of charm
Get married down in Kilbride, have a party in Hate Bay
Or have some screech in Fogo and forget about the day

From Woody Point to Come-By-Chance to good ol' Ferryland
Come take a look at Gander, Blackhead's mighty grand
Don't let the names deceive you, Newfoundland's mighty fine
So spend a night on Dildo if you think you've got the time
Okay, the Drinkin' Verse

*sing drunkenly here*

From Woody Point to Come-By-Chance to good ol' Ferryland
Come take a look at Gander, Blackhead's mighty grand
Don't let the names deceive you, Newfoundland's mighty fine
So spend a night on Dildo if you think you've got the time
So spend a night on Dildo if you think you've got the time
So spend a night on Dildo if you think you've got the time
COD!

Gravesend.

Also, I don't find the name Scunthorpe very endearing. Maybe it's because because the '****' part is quite prominent, but it just sounds like a nasty, icky, depressing place.

Fucking, Austria [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fucking,_Austria].

I can almost see why people keep stealing that traffic sign.
I cried when I saw the mayor talking about the name change.

This and Mianus, Connecticut. (pronounced My-anus)
I can see some funny conversations forming out of that name...

"Where do you live?"
"In Mianus."
"What? Fuck you buddy!"

When I was driving around eastern Germany, I came through one village named "Elend", which literally translates into "Misery"... and twenty metres from the sign there was a drunk hobo passed out on the ground.

Watford. It's a very dull place. Grey. Wet. And more dangerous than you'd expect.

This isn't a place anyone lives in, but, there's an artificial island off of Japan called Yumeno-Shima/Dream Island. As I've heard, it was named because it was built in a beautiful location. But, the island was used for dumping, and you literally can't see it anymore; it's completely buried with piles of garbage and refuse. It's a pleasant title with a sad, ironic twist to it.

Skegness. Yeah...

In England how nice a place is is inversely proportionate to how nice a name it has. Skegness and Blackpool both have awful sounding names but are nice seaside resorts, Daisy Meadows(I can only think of a local example) however is an extremely rough area full of crime.
