Anyone have four or more consonants in a row in their name? Or perhaps you can think of a place name with four or more?

A colleage has a surname Walmsley, and I came up with Oswaldtwistle for a place name.

I don't have four letters in my surname, let alone consonants.

In Welsh W is usually regarded as a vowel, not a consonant.

No English misconceptions about what constitutes a vowel in foreign languages allowed. That includes Welsh.

W is a vowel you numbskulls otherwise the word would not be pronounceable by anyone, would it?

No, so if you come up with an English name then that's fine 🙂
