In Dublin there was a monument locally called "The Floozie in the Jacuzzi" ("floozie" is someone promiscuous) which apparently the artist quite liked. It got moved off the main thoroughfare at some point.

The German city I used to live in has an oversized pedestrian overpass with three large openings or holes. It never had an official name (as it was never intended as a monument or sight), but right from the start it was locally known as the Elefantenklo ("elephant loo"), or E-Klo.
These days it's often considered Gießen's most well-known landmark, which... tells you something about the place.
