Not quite amusing, but there is a very small hamlet near me called
New Zealand and yes, we have tried to acquire the sign.
There's a town in Essex called Fingrinhoe.
And there is Come Down I believe, near Weymouth.

But I'm also keen on;
...and Dorset is packed with amusing place names - although Queen Victoria renamed some of them.

I used to live in a place called Upper Thong (it was near both Nether Thong and Thongsbridge... )
They in turn are only about 20 miles away from Penistone (boringly pronounced Pennistun), but it still amuses visitors....
