    Leitrim.

    Still not convinced though.

    I've heard that if you keep really really quiet, a Leitrimer might appear at the foot of the garden.

    No, really.

    Not far from Virginville, Blue Ball, and Paradise. That area is populated by Amish, who are not as filthy-minded as us normals, and so don't associated the place names with naughtiness. Most residents would have changed those town names long ago.

    I live in Alberta and there's a few funny named places around here:

    Lake Minnewanka
    Shaganappi
    Balzac

    Didn't believe it when I first heard about them. They sound like something out of Anchorman.
