* C.S.Lewis in one of his letters mentions passing through Shapely Bottom and Cuckold’s Green in Kent. “…if one had lived in the 17th century, what a horrible fate it would have been to live at Cuckold’s Green.”

** Fucking was also most likely the inspiration behind the crime novel "Bad Fucking", set in a town of the same name ("Bad" being a typical part of many a town name where there was some sort of bath, much like, um, "[[UsefulNotes/OtherBritishTownsAndCities Bath]]", [[UsefulNotes/TheWestCountry Somerset]]). There is also the UrbanLegend of Fucking planning to brew its own beer, the name of which would have been [[AwesomeMcCoolname Fucking Hell]] (Fucking Pale Ale). In fact, the beer [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fucking_Hell does exist]], except that it's brewed in neighbouring Germany.

* ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' has Onett, Twoson, Threed, and Fourside, in that numerical order.

* Bill Clinton, from a town called Hope. (..., Arkansas).
* There's a city in Canada called "Happy Valley Goose Bay." This is located in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, which collects such names. Other candidates include: Heart's Content, Heart's Delight, Little Heart's Ease, Little Paradise, Cupids, Harbour Grace, Blow-Me-Down, Tickle Cove and Comfort Cove. There's even an advertising campaign for the island centered on cute children standing in front of brightly painted houses (another feature of the island), lines full of drying Guernsey sweaters, and aged fishing boats in towns with these kinds of names.

* Morgongåva, meaning "morning gift" in Swedish. In old germanic tradition, on the morning after the wedding, the groom presented the bride with something valuable, so that she wouldn't be left penniless if he should die. This is the morning gift, or dower. The Swedish town "Morgongåva" is named for a small farm that was once given away in such a fashion.
* Schoenchen, Kansas. In German, "schoen" means beautiful and "-chen" is a diminutive, similar to "-ette". To a German, it sounds like a whole basket of puppies and kittens looking up. And the basket is made of something fluffy. And sugar coated.

** New mexico also has a Pep, Pie Town, Candy Kitchen, Sunshine, and Loving, among others.

* Parodying this trope along with TastesLikeDiabetes is the town of "Honey Mint White Caramel Fudgeflake with Melty Butter and Syrup and Whipped Cream on Top" which is populated by a race of alien bunny people in ''VideoGame/MagicalStarsign''.

* "''Franchise/SilentHill''?": [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] by the [[EldritchLocation eponymous town]].

* [[SubvertedTrope What could possibly be threatening]] about a place called "''Franchise/SilentHill''?"

* WesternAnimation/GravityFalls: Gravity Falls has a cutesy name, but is also a TownWithADarkSecret.

* Truth Or Consequences, New Mexico. Named after a cheesy '50s game show, but had a movie made with that title in the '90s that gave it [[CrapsackWorld a whole new meaning.]]

* ''VideoGame/TheSims'' 2 has Pleasantview, the "beginner" packaged neighborhood. Given that some of its storylines include adultery, missing persons and an impoverished young widow with a delinquent child, the name is a bit ironic.

* [[MyLittlePony Ponyville]]. In fact, in ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship is Magic]]'' it's the only town in Equestria that ''doesn't'' have some sort of PunnyName. This was due to Hasbro [[ExecutiveMeddling insisting]] on using it as the town name; it was originally going to be called Fillydelphia.

* You know with the monster attacks and all, the name of [[MightyMorphinPowerRangers Angel Grove]] seems ironic.

* Inversion: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fucking,_Austria Fucking, Austria]]. It's about 1500 years old, with a population of 104. Named after a guy named Focko.
** It's apparently pronounced "fyoo-king". Also, all the signs with the town's name on it are bolted down because tourists kept stealing them.
*** Actually, it's pronounced "foo-king" with a short "oo" sound.

* During the ComicBook/AmalgamUniverse event, the comic ''Generation Hex'' (a combination of ComicBook/GenerationX and ComicBook/JonahHex) was set in a town called Humanity. The story was an homage to the film ''PaleRider''.

* Parodying this trope along with TastesLikeDiabetes is the town of "Honey Mint White Caramel Fudgeflake with Melty Butter and Syrup and Whipped Cream on Top" which is populated by a race of alien bunny people in ''[[MagicalVacation Magical Starsign]]''.
