I fucking love Scandinavian place names

Postby djtheblade » Sat Sep 05, 2009 7:16 am

They sound pretty mint imho, always stuff like fjorden borgen, or hjíéúóág. In Britain we have stuff like Buxsworth and Dove Holes. No comparison. Mind you, Wales does have "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch"

I shit you not: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llanfairpwllgwyngyll

What's your favourite place name?

Holland and Belgium have some great ones:

Sexbierum, something with sex and beer
Roermond, 'Stir mouth"
Aarschot: 'Arseshot'

Belgium even has the Anal Triangle:

Kontich, Reet and Aartselaar:
Buttly, Ass and Arsesomething


Oh and considering Scandinavian placenames, we have our own Bergen, which in Dutch basically means 'Mountains', Because we have LOTS as you can see:
