OK a news story from Ghana,
Ghana MPs giggle over 'Wise Vagina' village name

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-44982570

They have other places with similar names.

These are the English translations for the Twi names:

Etwe nim Nyansa - "Vagina is Wise"
Kote ye Aboa - "Penis is a Fool"
Shua ye Morbor - "Testicles are Sad".

Do you know of any other placenames

I know of Fúcking in Germany

Cum is near Lahardane (Irish is Leathardán). Very fitting indeed if pronounced slowly.
