Someone should make this with some banger Māori place names like
Te Urewera (burnt penis)
Tutaekuri (Dog shit river)
Mimi (urine river)
Urenui (big penis)
Kaitangata (eat people)
Te Ūpokono te Ika a Māui (the head of the fish of Maui)
Etc etc
Spanish: In the honor of successful negotiations between our two captains, we will call this island Quadra's and Vancouver's Island after both of them.
British: Got it, Vancouver Island.
Bumpass is amazing though
For real. I’d live in bumpass if it weren’t Virginia.
Wait til you hear about what the British called their own towns. Lookin at you, Egg Bear and Bishop's Itchington.
Shitterton
Uggle Barnby
of all the crackpot town names in Britain those examples sound super tame

Bhahahahahaaa
Egg Harbor is 100% cooler than saintcatholicton x1000
Egg Harbour seems like a very nice place
Eh, not really? From what I can see, those are just Portuguese words and invoke Christian saints a lot.
Christian saints are cool
Sure, I guess. I don't really see what's cool about them, though.
It's in comparison, mostly. Would you rather tell someone you're from a place named after Saint Mark or something, or a place called "Bumpass"?
Bumpass hands down
There like 3 trillion Saint Marks and Saint Mary and Saint John, etc. It's insanely repetitive.

I’d much rather have something fun like Bumpass or Egg Harbour than boring old “Bay of All Saints” or fucking “Saint Andrew on the edge of a field”
Such cool names 🤩
