‘Mousehole, in Cornwall. Indian Queens, also in Cornwall.
Heck I’ll just go with the Cornwall theme: Mevagissey, Polmassick, Frogpool, Edgcumbe, Mabe Burnthouse, Playing Place, Cocks, Goonbell, Goonhilly, Goonhaven, Lusty Glaze Beach, St Anthony-in-Menage, Nanquidno, Praze-An-Beeble, etc.
As you can tell, Cornwall is my favourite place for odd placenames. Highest density in the UK.’
