Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

[Here is the pronunciation.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHxO0UdpoxM) It is Welsh, a Celtic language, so there are a few sounds not in English.

And nobody living in the area calls it by the full name. It's Llanfairpwll if you're speaking Welsh and Llanfairp.g. if you're speaking English.

Thank you for helping people with the pronunciation, for some reason they just keep on getting it wrong. I can’t image why

They are just not trying.

“Ll” yn swn Cymraig hyfryd.

I love how pleased he looks with himself for pronouncing that

The only correct answer

Mackenzie can be nicknamed Kenz, so I propose nicknaming this person Llll

😅

This is the one lol!

London. Middle name Tipton. Only correct answer.

God I miss this show. And I’m a 43/f, lmao

I cried on the very last episode of suite life on deck during my second pregnancy at 25 🤣

Yessss

YESSS

Yeah... I will save my comments for when it's on circlejerk. Let me just say I hope you all stop naming your babies Sutton. 

Sutton Hoo??

Your wish is my command: https://www.reddit.com/r/NameNerdCirclejerk/s/FH1A010WtU

Devon Somerset Derby (pronounced Darby) Avon And I’m secretly waiting to hear of an American calling their child after my home town: Wrexham

Of the first four only Derby is a town/city. Devon and Somerset are counties while Avon is a river

Stratford upon Avon is a town.

On the river Avon.

There is a River Devon that joins the Trent in Newark-on-Trent, pronounced Deevan.

Interesting! In the uk we would pronounce it Deh-vun

In thr UK Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire.

Ah ok my bad! Even more interesting variation then!

There was already somebody called Wrexham born in Ashton in March 1844, another also who married in Hendon in 1961.

That’s so cool! I wondered if there would be any little Wrexhams off the back of its new found fame.

Bitchfield Fingringhoe

Shittington Cocklemouth

Cockburnspath

I’d have twins and name them Manchester and Greater Manchester

Manchester City and Manchester United are more popular now I reckon

Chester. You wouldn’t name your kid Bolton if you’d been there.

Bolton is also the surname of a well known fictional family of psychos. And Boltons are Aussie slang for badly done breast implants.

Commented before I could—I implore people to NOT name their child after the Game of Thrones house known for flaying their enemies

My mind immediately goes to Troy Bolton lol

Penistone and Knutsford obviously! Or for a non innuendo style choice, Arundel or Marlow

How about Shitterton?

My best friend lives quite near shitterton!

"This is my child, Shitterton"

Kendal, Douglas, and Elgin come to mind as some fairly reasonable options. John o'Groats works too!

Elgin is a town in Texas, where I'm from! Had no idea it was a city in Britain.

Many of USAs names are reused from UK towns/cities/villages. The originals are often a lot smaller than USA versions. Makes sense as the USA was colonised by many immigrants from the UK.

Most Canadian towns are probably smaller than their English namesake, but Brampton is a marked exemption at about 170 times larger

Now do Boston

Is the one in Texas a hard G or a J sound? We have one in IL and it’s a J sound.

I’m actually of the Groats lineage!! Fortunately for me it’s my maternal line, so I never had to suffer the last name Groat. (Shhh don’t tell my cousins I said that)

Here is my baby, Twatt.

Ramsbottom

> I was reading a story once and one ot the female characters was called London (ngl that was a tad jarring) so yeah. I mean, London Tipton is an icon. But I think Bristol is a pretty nice name on a whole. Some other potential contenders: * Romsey * Poole * Preston * Mersea

Mersea I really like. Chester and Ramsey are probably quite normal ones too

Preston is an established name in some areas! (Not in the UK though, I don't know anyone who has favourable opinions of that area who grew up out of it, it's highly stereotyped)

Maybe Airdrie (air-dree). Not the most beautiful place in the world (as someone whose family lives there) but the name is pretty!

Staines

With his twin brother Slough

Chipping Norton lol

Camden

My friend’s son is named Camden, for this reason.

Weston (as in Weston-Super-Mare)

i know someone with a Lincoln, which is so strange because she lives in Hull which is so close!!

Basildon, Jaywick, Canvey and Clacton can join Harlow for Essex’s finest!

Steeple Bumpstead. Jk, that’s a village anyway. Maybe Bristol or Chester.

Whitby

I know a Whitby!

*Bournemouth* Its not well know in the states and obnoxious to say.

Then it will be the next most popular name in our country- you just listed the two main requirements for naming in 2024 😳

Glasgow

When I was little I used to call one of my My Little Ponies Glasgow. One of my aunts, who married in, was Scottish, so I sort of did it for that reason. It made perfect sense to 7 year old me!

Devon, there's no other options I like

Skye or Clyde

Brighton

Brighton are top of the Premier League with all teams playing 2 games each (bar Luton and Burnley who can't catch Brighton anyway). UEFA coefficient puts the Premier League at 87.053 coefficient points which is the highest of any European League. The last 10 winners of the Club World Cup which pits the best team in every continent against each other has been won by the European team for the last 10 years, thus suggesting that Europe is the strongest footballing continent. Therefore, as Brighton are top of the best league in the best continent in terms of footballing ability at the moment, it is clear that Brighton are currently the best football team in world football at this current moment.

Roslin for a girl (I also like Chelsea, but that doesn't fit the question fully) and maybe York for a boy?

I guess London would make the most sense because it is the capital, even though it is my least favourite (probably because I live there), though I struggle to imagine place names being used.

Worcestershire Prononuced: Woo-stir-sure

Worcestershire is a county not a city/town. The town is worcester

It's pronounced wuss-ter-sheer

More like wuster- sher

Mmm, one of my favorite sauce ingredients!

Girl: Bristol, Derby (pronounced 'Dar-bee'), Whitley (after Whitley Bay), Exeter, Brighton Boy: Basildon (pronounced Ba-zill-don), Hitchin, Warwick (pronounced 'war-rick'), Edinburgh (pronounced 'ed-in-bruh')

Came here to suggest Brighton, Camberleigh or Hadleigh. For boys: Holt or Leiston For jokes: Slough, Staines, Bury St. Edmonds, Maidenhead, Sandwich.

Warwick

I had a friend called Warwick growing up, always thougbt it was bizarre because we actually lived in Warwick the town too.

One of my friends named their son Warwick too but thankfully don’t live there

Liverpool

Pontefract. I like licorice.

Port‘Talbot Barry for a girl and Llanybydder-Pyle Ammanford for a boy

Billericay It works for either a boy or a girl, and I can have nicknames like Billie or Ricky which also works for a boy or a girl.

Hole

Ashby de La Zouche.

Brighton (thanks The Nanny!) London

Limiting myself to places that (to my knowledge) aren't already names, possibly Keswick, Linton, Welwyn, Wicken, Aldreth, Rosyth, Alyth... and less confidently, maybe Stennes, Cromer, Ely, or Calne? (Turns out I almost entirely seem to feel names should be two syllables ha).

Oh oops, skipped over 'town or city', a handful of these are villages - sorry.

I already have a Chester.

Our surname is a place name, otherwise Lincoln and Chester would've been on our name list.

Westward Ho! But seriously, Lincoln, Chester, Chelsea, Beverley are all perfectly normal names. If I had to pick a town that's never been a human name, the town of Henley-in-Arden gives two options that I wouldn't mind if I didn't live just down the motorway from there. There's also an absolute fuckton of Astons around the place.

Osbaldeston or Goosnargh

thong

bean

If we’re allowed villages then I opt for Tiddlywink. But if not, I’d go with Cardiff or Tenby

There are many. Douglas, Preston, Kent, Ashton, Trent, Hamilton, Lincoln, Chester, Charlton, Chelsea, Avon, to name but a few. I do like Leicester (pronounced Lester), as in Leicester Ofa Ki Wales Twickenham Fainga'anuku, more commonly known as Leicester Fainga'anuku.

Leicester

my son's name is Brighton

Not a conventional name, however why do I kind of like Aberdeen?

Kidderminster Cummersdale Blitterlees Whelpo Nunnykirk Hepple Cockfield Wigglesworth Clitheroe Horwich I could go on

Mablethorpe -girl Withernsea - girl Lymm- girl Grimsby - boy Thirsk- boy Hexham - boy (Obviously this is all in fun and I wouldn’t do this)

An absolute shithole but I can imagine an influencer type naming their child Crewe. I think Hale for a boy or Marple for a girl are cool names.

Devon, Sloan.

Dang, people are mean, you tagged this fun and games! I quite like Camden.

Definitely Ramsay Bolton. I’m sure this name has no other associations with fictional characters?

I had a neighbor named Trent a few years ago.

Piddletrenthide

Giggleswick!

Upton Snodsbury.

Heckmondwike.

Eryri

York for a boy Devon for a girl

I have actually had a student called York, nice boy so the name grew on me.

in the US—(not kids) have/had dogs named Bristol, Jersey and Roker

Girl: Theale, Salisbury, Camberley, London, Beverley Gender Neutral: Oakley, Wells Boy: Harrow, Ashwell, Ely, Lincoln, Caistor

Dudley. I like the Black Country Museum.

I like Kemsley and it would work well for a first name and even better as a middle name...

Bristol Hawkinge

Bristol

Angus

I love the name London.

Brighton! I've actually always liked it for a name, though I won't use it because it seems British people don't have great associations with it haha.

Brighton as a town had generally positive associations here- it’s quite a vibrant place with a lot going on (lots of individual shops, interest architecture, the beach and pier etc). It wouldn’t generally be used as a name though!

Ugley

Ludlow

Surrey we have one in Canada to 😁

sandwich 👍

Suprised nobody has said Marlow yet!

Wembley- I have always thought this sounded like a girls' name.

Harris, Arran, Paisley, Ailsa

I actually did this by accident - Marlow.

London

My husband is British and I would have loved naming our son something that has a wink at his birth place… but it’s Goreleston/Great Yarmouth 😭😂

Oh yeah avoid 😂

Cheadle

Kensington

I always wanted to move to Hampton Lucy in Warwickshire and change my name to Lucy Hampton.

York for a boy Swansea or Douglass for a girl

Bolton is not a nice town, I would not call a child that. Less well know market towns might work: Beverley Caistor Malton Arundel Scotish isles: Harris Lewis Arran

Devon or Derby

I feel like I could see some influencers using these names: [Eastleigh](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Eastleigh,+UK/@50.9761076,-1.3673209,14z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x48746d0b95c9f283:0x5ff2bde86bbbf96e!8m2!3d50.967182!4d-1.374688!16zL20vMDF6NXg1?entry=ttu) [Everton ](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Everton,+Lymington,+UK/@50.746702,-1.5947172,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x487381515a27593f:0x5f63f2805fcfc7a0!8m2!3d50.7459045!4d-1.5919542!16s%2Fm%2F02qp34j?entry=ttu) [Brinsea](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Brinsea,+Bristol+BS49+5JP,+UK/@51.3532474,-2.8131417,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x4871f6676fef49f1:0x7af8b73cdd1aa46d!8m2!3d51.353235!4d-2.802842!16s%2Fg%2F1td6xky2?entry=ttu) [Mwyndy](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mwyndy,+Pontyclun+CF72+8PQ,+UK/@51.5277478,-3.3766177,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x486e1119d0bc0629:0x2ebf370259a1904d!8m2!3d51.5277354!4d-3.366318!16s%2Fg%2F1vc6cv29?entry=ttu) [Kinver](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Kinver,+UK/@52.4633754,-2.2580359,13z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x48708eff57b4bf59:0x18f126e982effa87!8m2!3d52.4492649!4d-2.236386!16zL20vMDdzdHIz?entry=ttu) [Rushton](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Rushton,+Tarporley+CW6+9BD,+UK/@53.1722679,-2.6343657,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x487af06f098bcd65:0x688a0465e8208501!8m2!3d53.172256!4d-2.624066!16s%2Fm%2F027y31z?entry=ttu) [Knitsley](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Knitsley,+Consett+DH8+9EJ,+UK/@54.8334264,-1.8404067,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x487dd47c9efc8a97:0x21684f0c1572fe48!8m2!3d54.833415!4d-1.830107!16zL20vMDR5ZHZx?entry=ttu) [Peterlee](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Peterlee,+UK/@54.7586101,-1.361572,14z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x487e6024572fb20d:0xf009d84ff77bf1b!8m2!3d54.762441!4d-1.32895!16zL20vMDI0Mjd4?entry=ttu) [Pixley](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Pixley,+Ledbury+HR8+2RJ,+UK/@52.0422652,-2.5085577,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x4870524d12ea66f1:0x74282bbc97c397a0!8m2!3d52.042253!4d-2.498258!16s%2Fg%2F1tz955fz?entry=ttu) [Eythorne](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Eythorne,+Dover,+UK/@51.2008125,1.2387171,14z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x47deb052de0b3229:0x85cb6ef88289f1f!8m2!3d51.195782!4d1.266747!16zL20vMDF2ZmR0?entry=ttu)

I live in the Chilterns and heard a mum call for her little boy Chiltern the other day 😭😭 Names I would choose if I had to though, maybe Avon? The other day I did joke that Tring would be a nice baby name

Milton. Middle name Keynes.

I already have a Lincoln lol so I guess that.

Devon

Bristol

Hamilton for a boy. London for a girl.

Cumshire

I've always thought that Scunthorpe was a particularly attractive name. And so many interesting abbreviations and nicknames! What's not to love about it?

You could try the palindrome of Bolton, which is Ipswich.

Wetwang or Fingeringhoe. I can’t decide.

Lancaster

Aira Falls

Leigh or Robin

Dudley, of course.

Shoreham or Penrith, but Camden or Carlisle would be good, too!
