As funny as they may be, they don't fall under the scope of what we do here. Best to let other sites handle that sort of thing.
Also, I know where you're getting this from — that report that came out recently — and we most definitely don't want articles on every bit of memetic silliness that pops up.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"But what's the difference between all the other examples that come under Unfortunate Names and Fail O Suckyname?
And what report was this that came out recently?

These other examples are not Real Life examples, assuming that you are referring to the wiki page examples.
As for other Real Life examples, see No Real Life Examples, Please!.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanYou see, there's a Real Life folder on the Fail O Suckyname page, which people have included place names as examples.
Yeah, that section will probably need a trip through the thread on RL sections - it looks like misuse now.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanOk. Thanks for letting me know.
What trope would unfortunate place names go under, seeing as there is as yet no "Real Life" folder on the Unfortunate Names page? For example, there's Dufftown and Dull in Scotland, as well as Boring in Oregon, Penistone in England, Bland in Australia, etc.
