I'm Russian speaking, Szczecin for me sound much less bad, while Blagoveshchensk doesn't sound bad for me at all.

The English speakers might not realize that all those four English consonants in a row are spelled by a measly single Russian letter lol.

Australia:
Wollongong

What is the difference between Wollongong and Woolgoolga, Woollahra, Woolloomoloo and Woolloongabba? Of course every Aussies favourite town is Bogan Gate.

Jesus, someone's taking thing too seriously. Would you feel better if I started another thread with names I like?

There's a place called Pupu Springs (pronounced Poo Poo ) in my region. Very clear water.

There's a hill not far from here called Shaggers Knob.

There's a location called Muttontown in the lower South Island. Thank goodness it didn't become a major town.

Manitoba is kind of a silly sounding name. Mississippi is nice but funny.

Manitoba and Minnesota, sort of go together.

Mississippi is in that region where the names start to sound a bit comical to some. Lake Okeechobee in Florida and my personal favorite, Okefenokee Swamp.
