We have "TNT Creek", "Ape Canyon", "Misery Gore", and 65 places named "Mud Pond". A section of our town is (aptly) named "Purgatory". We also have "Poland", "Paris", etc as shown here:

I grew up in Big Beaver. Still payin' taxes there. Me mum used to joke about openin' a restaurant; no menu, rather ya get what was on the stove that day... and it woulda been called "Mom's Easy Beaver Restaurant". :jester:

That reminds me of a restaurant in Italy that I knew of. Small local place that only the locals knew about. The proprietor determined the menu based on what was available that day from the local farmers markets so there was no set menu. To find out what was on the menu for that evening, and to make a reservation, you had to know his cell phone number. Then you had to hope he answered it. The place could only seat about 20 people, if they were friendly. He only prepared enough food for those that had made reservations or that he had invited. Very odd place, very odd person. Though not unique once you got "off the beaten path" in Italy.

Must be an Italian thing. That's about how she'd describe the plan. She was first gen American born Italian. And eldest of six.
 
All these names make me wonder about Woman Hollering Creek (on I10, just east of San Antonio).
