The early white settlers had a very sophisticated technique for naming places, and one that showed great respect for the prior owners of the land: find the nearest person with darker skin than yours, point to the surrounding area, and say "What's this place called?". That's why most Australian place names translate to, in the local language of the area, "Huh?" or "What do you mean?" or "I haven't the faintest clue what you're talking about, old chap", or occasionally "Place of the Elbow" or "Dung Heap" once they figured out how easy these people were to troll. No, the fantasy name generators are used in the US of A. And Canada just picks someone else's place name and adds "-eh" to it. ChrisA
