With our online business we are used to send parcells to all locations of Australia five days a week.
At times we do come across a place where we wouldn't want to live, not because the people or place sux, but it's name...
I can also just hear someone asking: and where to you live?
Answer : Innaloo (WA)

Some amusing ones we've come across at work in NSW:
Bogan Gate
Dunedoo
Goonoo Goonoo
Burrumbuttock
Binnaway
Between town names, street names, satellite imagery and Google Streetview, our team's inner 5 year old gets a weekly chuckle
