There are plenty of unusual place names in the world from the town of Hell in Norway to Witts End in Bedfordshire.
However, while lots of towns and villages make us giggle there are some that are far more suggestive than others.
Many place names around the world make you question if you should censor them when writing them down!

But, it turns out lots of the rudest named places in the world are actually great places to visit when travelling the world.
Whether you head to the city of Dildo in Canada, Shitterton in Dorset or Wank Mountain in Germany some are far more beautiful than their names imply.
Many of the names likely mean something completely different in the language of the locals and only seem rude in English.
However, that doesn't mean it's not a shock when you first set eyes on them.
Check out some of the cheekiest place names out there in the world…
1. Intercourse Village, Pennsylvania
This small hamlet is in the Lancaster County of Pennsylvania – only about 1,400 people live in the area, but there's actually a lot to do as a tourist.
You can take a buggy ride in an Amish buggy through the surrounding farmland.
Or, check out the weaponry museum and car barn full of vintage American vehicles.
There’s even around 42 shops, restaurants and more selling local treasures like handmade quilts, potters, leather goods and ice cream.
2. Dildo, Newfoundland
This giggle-worthy Canadian seaside town is quiet with only 1,200 residents.
There's also a neighbouring town called South Dildo and tourists sometimes visit just to get a snap with the sign.
Apparently, there were several campaigns to change the name of the town in the 20th century, but all failed.
There's now a Hollywood style sign in the hills with the name of the town which was given to them by celeb Jimmy Kimmel.
3. Muff, County Donegal
We're sure our Irish neighbours have a good laugh every time they spot Muff on Google Maps.
It sits close by the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and the population has grown.
Muff can mean a warm tube you pop your hands in when it’s cold – or slang for a lady's genitals.
Either way, there’s a pub in the area called the Squealing Pig, a golf centre and plenty of restaurants and places to stay the night.
4. Anus, France
Set in Yonne Commune in Burgundy, France, the region around Anus is green and lush.
The closest town to Anus is either Fouronnes or Courson-les-Carrieres which are surrounded by lots of nature and forestry.
5. Fugging, Austria
At first glance, the name of this Austrian village in Tarsdorf doesn't seem overtly rude.
However, it was only in 2021 that residents of the area voted to change the name from the original 'f***ing'.
Before last year it had held the name since the 11th century.
Road signs were often stolen by amused tourists and vandals.
The name apparently derived from its founders name – Focko – by adding "ing" to the end the name meant "place of Focko's people".
6. Climax, Georgia
This giggle-worthy name was apparently assigned to the town as it is located at the highest point of the railroad between Savannah, Georgia, and the Chattahoochee River.
The tiny town is filled with families and every year holds a "Swine Time Festival" attended by 35,000 people.
The country event includes plenty of competitions like hog calling, best dressed pig contests, syrup making and the "great greased pig chase" – where people try to keep hold of a pig covered in oil.
We're not sure that's particularly kind to the pig so maybe don't join in if you head down to see the festival!
7. Wank Mountain, Germany
The peak is actually pronounced as "vank" and sits in the Loisach valley in southern Germany.
It's close to the Austrian border and the mountain is adorned with a snowy top.
One for adventure travellers, the area is fantastic for hiking so long as you have some experience.
The mountain also features the Wank Haus – a mountain hut that provides food and accommodation to visitors.
8. Tit, Algeria
To us this village is rather cheekily named as another word for a breast as well as a bird.
But, in Algerian Arabic we're not sure it will mean the same thing at all so this may be a town name lost in translation.
The area is known for the Battle of Tit in 1902 and is surrounded by desert.
9. Cockermouth, England
Always a place name that gives us a laugh, Cockermouth is a market town up in Cumbria with plenty to offer the visiting tourists.
The town is just on the edge of the Lake District National Park so you can get stuck into hiking or boating nearby.
The Solway Coast is also just a drive away for beach lovers and there are all sorts of galleries, shops, pubs and restaurants in Cockermouth.
10. Middelfart, Denmark
Middelfart is a sizeable town with about 16,200 residents.
Middelfart Museum contains lots of interesting bits of history about the area – which may be named “middle way” in old Danish due to its placement near the local rivers.
The Kilturoen Cultural Centre has a library, cinema, restaurant and tourist office.
Meanwhile, nature lovers will enjoy the many walking and hiking opportunities as well as animal spotting.
11. Vagina, Russia
It's rather obvious why this town name makes people blush.
Especially as anyone who visits can say they were in the middle of Vagina town – though we wouldn't recommend visiting Russia right now as the FCDO has advised Brits to avoid the country.
It's likely that the village name has another meaning in Russian as well as a different pronunciation.
12. Shitterton, England
Another name in the UK that makes us chuckle is Shitterton in Dorset.
The tiny hamlet has attracted worldwide attention due to its rather sweary name which dates back around 1000 years.
Shitterton apparently means “farmstead on the stream used as an open sewer” – so it does actually relate to its unusual name and is actually named after sh*t.
Despite this, it’s a relatively beautiful part of the country with older, thatched buildings and cottages.

13. Fuku, China
This Chinese place with a very small population sits in the province of Shaanxi, China.
Close major cities include Taiyuan and Hohot.
In English pronunciation this area’s name looks like an insult – but it may mean “fortune” in Chinese characters.
Covid-19 restrictions remain in parts of China so travelling to the area could be difficult and you must abide by all rules if you attempt to.
