Names of settlements I found amusing

Driving along Guyana's coast (the only area with roads) in the back of a taxi afforded me the opportunity to trundle past some interestingly-named villages.

Some sound quite pleasant to live in:

  • Good Hope
  • Pleasing Hope
  • Good Prospect
  • OK Prospect
  • Success
  • Better Success
  • Miss Phoebe
  • Adventure 
  • Friendship
  • Land of Plenty
  • Fear Not
  • Free and Easy
  • Good Banana Land


... and some sound a little shady:

  • Makeshift
  • Wasteland
  • Experiment
  • Look Out 
  • Now or Never
  • Retreat
  • McDoom
  • Zorg

These are all real settlements, honest. Signs and everything.
