It's a pretty common practice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neapoli
I had a bit of a laugh about the 'siege of Kut' (WWI). 'Kut' is Dutch slang for 'vagina'.

The full name translates to:
The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one.
More of a story than a place name...

I had a teacher called Cockburn. Everyone would make fun of him behind his back for making us pronounce it Coburn. Apparently he has joined a non-religious monastry or something of the sort. By the way, I live in Australia and the national language is English

Wilfred Test wrote:Here's why it's called Truth or Consequences:Originally named Hot Springs, the city changed its name to Truth or Consequences, the title of a popular NBC radio program. In 1950, Ralph Edwards, the host of the radio quiz show Truth or Consequences, announced that he would air the program from the first town that renamed itself after the show. Hot Springs won the honor. Edwards visited the town during the first weekend of May for the next fifty years. This event was called "Fiesta" and included a beauty contest, a parade, and a stage show. The city still celebrates Fiesta each year on the first weekend of May. The parade generally features area celebrities such as the New Mexico Chile Queen. Fiesta also features a dance in Ralph Edwards Park.
