Have you ever seen someone's town name and cringed?

only when it's vulgar. i hate it when people give villagers vulgar catchphrases too. otoh i've seen a couple hells though and i'm sorry that always makes me laugh.
 
I miss town with more, y'know, real-town like names. Sweets named towns are ok sometimes tho, like a fantasy town or something.
A thing I really don't like tho are those who are named "Hyrule" or "Unova", and aren't constructed based on their names, or fandoms.

What makes me really cringe tho are towns named like "TinyThing", "CozyPlace" or **** like that. It just feels so off to me.
 
What bugs me even more is when people don't capitalize their town names or their character name! I don't know why but it bugs me SOO much!

the tears i cried were a foreign and mesmerizing mixture of fear, anguish, defeat, and the feeling that the messiah is upon us
 
I'll be the first to admit. One of my villagers, Whitney, says a vulgar word. She's not directing it at anyone and I don't see it as being offensive. But I think it's funny and she's MY villager I generally only have my IRL friends to visit, all of whom are around my age, and they don't find it offensive.. If I decided to get rid of her I would 100% change her catchphrase. I wouldn't let her leave my town with it. But I figure "Hey, I'm a 24 year old mature (sometimes) lady and If I want my villager to say something that's going to make me giggle then by golly gee.. I'm going to do it."

Some towns make me cringe..but then again some are really creative(like OOD from McDork) LOL
I also had a character Burp from zumbrota
 
I've only cringed when seeing very inappropriate names. >_>
Otherwise, I don't really care. It's not my town and everyone is entitled to their
own tastes. :3
 
Hyrule, Westeros, Tamriel etc. all make me cringe because they're overused but also because a lot of the more popular names are continents/kingdoms with towns inside of them.
I mean, I love Westeros/Game of Thrones/ASoIaF but I just rolled over, peered at my map and picked the best sounding town name on it. Plus larger continent/kingdom names can't really follow a theme, whereas with my Starfall/House Dayne I was able to use their sigil and house colors to theme my town around. It just makes planning/decorating easier imo.
 
Hopefully my two aren't that cringe-worthy. One is a shortened version of a lovely city, and the other I actually went creative and chose the Latin word for heaven
