German speakers only:
Todmorden (UK, in the Pennines between Bradford and Preston), means "murdering death".
As a test of the foreign language capabilities of the autocensor:
Geilenkirchen (NATO airbase northeast of Aachen)
Fickmühlen (east of Bremerhaven)
Tuntenhausen (southeast of Munich)

Attaching (near Freising near Munich),
Poing (east of Munich), which is French for fist
Fischenich (south of Cologne) which can be understood as "No fishing" in German
And of course Bielefeld as the most elaborate project to fake a city.Why doing it the easy way if it is possible to do it complicated?Comment

I wonder if the Thai ever heard of the saying "Brevity is the soul of wit"
