Untranslated Croatian examples
Is the reader of this article supposed to know what "Špičkovina" and "Gnojnice" mean in Croatian? (But not "Babina Guzica", apparently). Kumagoro-42 (talk) 17:55, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
Batman
Surprised the city of Batman in Turkey hasn't made it to the list. Any reason? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C7:CA00:F00:FC7F:A440:CFEA:7252 (talk) 18:36, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
Maybe we could add section about places named after fictional characters
Maybe we could add section about places named after fictional characters ect. For example: Obi-Wan Kenobi Street ect. TheEditMate (talk) 12:49, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Original research
Large swaths of this article, including most of the "Profane, humorous, and highly charged words" section, is just original research with editors adding names of places that seem to reference charged terms (porn, panties, etc). But there are not citations from reliable sources that indicate these place names are actually considered unusual. Is this article just a dumping ground for anything English speakers find odd? --ZimZalaBim talk 04:15, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
- Of course it's a silly article. But don't try and do anything to challenge the big boys, they'll just ignore you. At best Sirhissofloxley (talk) 23:23, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
