...that people living in a place called Knob Lick would want to change the name.

Incidentally, I once in RE class had to read aloud a passage about this character

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunti

Couldn't get through it. Was just bent double.

This week's Heat Magazine has a spread on strangely-named Hotels- my personal favourite would be the Porn Hotel, although I wouldn't be adverse to a Stay in The Kuntz Hotel or The Baltic Bitch Hotel

On another note, my friend's father was born in ****ing, Austria and my French lecturer is called Fanny. My director of studies also happens to be called Ms. Boozer- it must be my luck in life to be surrounded by people with unfortunate names/birthplaces

There's a hotel called Multa Tuli in Amsterdam, which translates into Finnish as "I just came". Also, it could be "Dirt Fire", but it's not as funny...

Well, Multatuli is the pseudonym Eduard Douwes Dekker used for his novels and comes from latin: multa tuli (I carried/suffered a lot).

But yours is better, Ice. Hell, I guess this is another proof that Finnish is way better than Latin.
