It's actually named after Dick Bong, who was the leading US fighter pilot in World War II.

Yep, heard of it.

In Bremen, Germany, one can stroll down Queerenstrasse.

A small town down the road where I grew up had streets with the quaint names of Winken, Blinken, and Nod.

The first time I was going to London from Heathrow airport, I found the terminal station of the underground line hilarious: Cockfosters.

There's a town in Newfoundland called "Dildo".

In fact, you could make an entire thread aboud Newfoundland town names:

Nick's Nose Cove
Joe Batt's Arm
Ha Ha Bay
Empty Basket
Heart's Desire
Cape Onion
Stocking Harbour

and...

Harbour Harbour

Ha Ha Bay sounds like Lake Hoohaw from PB&J Otter.

If we could just get everyone to move to either Intercourse, PA, or Fucking Germany, there would be no need for Dildo or Bird-In-Hand and should certainly get rid of Blue Ball.

Why do I suddenly want a shirt that reads, "I'm going to Fucking, Germany!"...
