http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_interesting_or_unusual_place_names
this page has a list of Dorset Villages, if you’re after curious and quaint.
I always liked the sound of Piddle and Upper Snodbury, both Worcestershire, or the Bog, Shropshire or Fatherless Barn, West Midlands.
A more sensible suggestion would be to take names of county towns, e.g. Oxford, Dorchester, Warwick etc
But less sensible suggestions can be foung in this list of amusing placenames.
I’d be tempted to name them after less salubrious or very dull parts
e.g. Sunderland, Tipton, Slough, Croydon …
(apologies to any dopers originating from such areas and proud of it 
)
I can only offer the villages round here - Formby, Blundellsands, Lydiate, Maghull, Heswall. They’re all in Merseyside, with the exception of Heswall, which is now in Cheshire (they moved it).
Slough - Every country should have one
The lovely northern Belgian town of “Fucking”
or if they have to be in England, Reading (read: Red-ing) i second Slough, is your boss like David Brent?
Collingham
Harrowgate
You could also consult the list of nominees for the crappest town in England. Naturally, my town is on the list, although I was a little disappointed that it only finished 36th in the end, Hull being the eventual winner.
your in reading too? wow another reading doper, i think that list was written by someone who didnt like rugby…
your in reading too? wow another reading doper, that list seems to be just random, like the whole spin the globe thing: play darts badly at a map of the UK
Just seen that link - my home town’s on that list as well. Not surprising really. Good to see though that its not the only Lancashire town on the list. 
How about Waddow, or Todmorden, Ramsbottom?
Kingston Bagpuize. (It’s where I work. It was in the Domesday book, valued at sixty shillings, but it’s gone downhill since then.)
Hemel Hempstead.
High Wycombe.
Little Chalfont.
Stoke Poges.
Ponders End.
Here’s some Essex villages I can remember playing cricket at:
Chignal Smealey
Great Waltham
Little Waltham
Pleshey (Remains of a castle right by the pitch and everything)
High Roading
Leaden Roading
Hmm. Thought I’d be able to remember more than that. Oh well.
How about Twydall? It’s right next to the place I was born.
On a more serious note, how about after cathedrals, here’s a list of some:
Canterbury
Rochester
Salisbury
Coventry
Carlisle
Gloucester
Westminster
Ooooh! Oooooh!
Do Staines!
You know you want to!
jumps up and down excitedly
Westward Ho!
The ! is part of the name.
Also. Ugley in Herforshire
How to make an English town name (note this doesn’t really work for Scotland/Wales/Ireland/Cornwall):
Take a random one or two syllable made up word. Let’s say, “booger”. Now, if “booger” is a river then you add any of the following endings:
-port
-mouth
-ford
If it’s not, then just add one of the following endings:
-ton
-ham
-shire
You can mix and match too, ending up with Boogerhamton, or Boogerfordshire.
Easy.
Sir Doris, I’m from Warwick, so I’ll second that recommendation!
Serious suggestion!
How about Marlow?
Beautiful town in Buckinghamshire, right on the river Thames.
Think about it… Marlow just sounds a sort of ‘building’ name.
Well it does to me anyway!
