Sorry it's not naughty.
Float, Sting lives there.

nothing provocative, but always loved, " Findo Gask "

Lumbutts and Mankinholes always make me laugh, both in STW land.
Oh and Barton in the Beans, Leicestershire.
For fear of a ban I won't write it here but Magpie Lane, Oxford used to have a surprising name.

Incidentally,
Chorlton of "and the Wheelies" fame is named after Chorlton Cum Hardy(*).
Not the greatest of middle names, to be honest.

I remember a Paul Young album with a picture of him next to the sign of a town named Shitterton and the question "have you ever?". Made me laugh, anyway
Mr agreeable - that looks like quite good read, cheers.
Just outside Stroud, you've got Sheepscombe (and the "combe" bit rhymes not with womb...more like "bum").
There's a few in Cumbria - I always liked it when I spotted "Wide Open Dykes" on the maps. There's Great Cockup and Little Cockup near Caldbeck.
I also have a little chuckle when I pass through "Loggerheads" on the way into North Wales. Always feel like stopping and phoning someone to tell then that I am at...

But the sign on the house shows SPUNKIE !
Cockermouth up in the lakes, always makes me laugh!
I like that when leaving Inverness, you pass through Dores to get to Foyers.
there is a road called shitty brook lane in Weaverham that is now called (boringly) shady brook lane
In County Durham we've got No Place
I think this got its name because it was a terrible pit. So, dolks would say that it was no place to be working
