In Poland there is a city called "Police" but it's not related to police, it means "fields" in archaic Polish. There are also (in translation): Butts, Hell, Upper Hell, Lower Hell, Not Hell, Cold Vodka, Tomcats, Rotten Mud, Dry Dogmeat, Sea, Givemehere, Frogeaters, Old Godhelp, Pisswolf, Curses, Krauts, Brothels, Small Village at Road, Scrotum, Old Forest Heroes, Box, Treason, Bad Meat, Horsehammers, Death, Anthrax Colony, Noname, Females, Street, Small Jumps, Big Jumps, and so on (granted, some of them are old as fuck and only funny because language changed and words changed meaning, for example this anthrax place originally meant Coal Colony).
There's also Heaven
That village propably saved so many flirt attempts.
dirt_owl's long lost home
this immediately made me think about anthracite
Yes, anthrax and anthracite comes from the same Greek word meaning black coal. In Polish this ethymology is mimicked - coal is węgiel in Polish, with diminutive singular węgielek, but it used to be wąglik. That last form fell out of use in time and was used again for the anthrax.
