The following international geographical names are either interesting or unusual. This list is provided chiefly for its entertainment value.

Exactly what is "interesting or unusual" is of course open to debate, but most of the names fall into recognisable categories:

• Names suggesting matters sexual or scatalogical or insulting, usually unintentionally. For example Intercourse, Shitlington Crags , or Silly.
  • Some sex-related names are marked 1 below
• Names of unorthodox spelling or sound. For example Å or Woolloomooloo .
  • Candidates for the shortest or longest word in English or other languages are marked 2.
  • Names that are also listed on inherently funny word are marked 3.
• Names that describe something that is in no apparent sense a geographical location. For example, Why, Old Harry , Mutters , Pity Me, and Die .
  • Some calendar-related names are marked 4
  • Some numerical names are marked 5
  • Some names that are interrogative pronouns are marked 6
  • Some living organisms' names are marked 7
  • Some names relating to food or drink are marked 8
• Names that match or resemble the name of another place many orders of magnitude more well-known, giving opportunity for confusion. For example New York , Lincolnshire, England
  • Some names of this kind are marked 9.

Many place names that appear odd to English-speakers are from other languages. Often they are either meaningless or innocuous in their own tongue. The arguably best-known example of this is Fucking, Austria.
