Some names only become humorous with local knowledge. When I was teaching in Sheffield I taught a lad called Warren Heath. On visiting by parents in Ipswich I saw a massive billboard stating "Your new Sainsbury's is now being built on Warren Heath" (which is an area on the edge of the town). I couldn't resist taking a photo of the sign and showing it to young Warren and his friends. (He was NOT amused!)
