Gotta love it.
This is a link to the original creators, to a food-and-drink map: STG's Slightly Overcooked Map of Tasty British Place Names — Marvellous Maps
I think this is probably better suited to MPSIMS.

Yeah, we have some fabulous silly/rude names out there. They seem to have missed one of my personal favourites off that map though; “Queen Camel”, a small village with a monumentally silly name.
I worked at the postal sorting office for a Christmas job last year, and letters to there always cheered me up.
The ones near me check out (some of them don’t seem all that silly to me - maybe because I’m just accustomed to them) - what’s funny about Bishopstoke? (Bishop’s Toke? Oh my sides!)
If you want rude names, they’re there to find. Many have been renamed. A moderately common town name for a lane is Grope or Grape Lane; the first word was originally rather longer and decidedly NSFW. 
You know, I thought of that–and thought of you, naturally, and your/my posting history: it has a great deal of MPSIMS, but I actually thought, and forgot to ask in the post itself, if at least some of these names were not official–not found on other maps–but local customary names. Thus more of a GQ.
But I did think of it. And you.

Holy shit! I just googled it. Unbelievable!
I have the same problem with A Night in Dildo, a song that does the same thing with Newfoundland place names. Gander and Come By Chance, particularly. (I’m also bothered by the fact they insist on pronouncing it New FOUND Land in the chorus, since it’s sung from the POV of a local, but that’s a whole other topic.)
**This silly/smutty/wink-wink-nudge-nudge thoroughly English map of England has all real names?

There’s a lot of Scotland and Wales in there for a “thoroughly English” map.
You perhaps meant a map of Great Britain, or a map of the United Kingdom?
The OP’s “all real names?”: I’m British, and fancy myself as quite well-informed about my country’s geography – in my perception, all the names on the link’s maps would seem to be indeed “the real deal”.
Interesting that many of the names featured, indeed have recognisable sexual or quasi-sexual connotations; but a fair number of others don’t specifically have such connotations – they just look / sound as though they ought to be smutty: e.g. Stretton Sugwas, Hecklebirnie. This wink-wink-nudge-nudge act over stuff which is ostensibly innocent but sounds otherwise, is an oddity for which we Brits are quite renowned – some describe us as a bunch of weird reserved and repressed folk, forever busy doing strange stuff within the privacy of our own heads.
A place on the Norfolk map which in written form is, overtly sex-suggesting – the village of Stiffkey (actually pronounced “Stewkey”) – has as its greatest claim to fame, the tragi-comic story of the fellow who was its Church of England rector (=minister / pastor) in the earlyish 20th century. This gentleman felt a great calling to help, and spread the gospel to, “fallen women” (to the detriment of his village pastoral duties). He did some perceivedly imprudent things in the course of this activity, was expelled from the clergy, and came to a sad end. The general view taken nowadays is that his intentions were innocent, but he acted naively and unwisely. One feels that the unfortunate name of his rural parish cannot have helped matters for him, in a situation involving sexual scandal.
I searched it too and at first thought surely it had to be one of those names that come from ye olde English or even dating back to Roman or Celtic times that just happens to sound like something else… but nope, it was exactly what it said on the tin all along. :eek:
I’m thinking this had to be a Monty Python skit. Somebody all straight-laced and proper pronounces these names with absolute efficiency and no humor.
