Darn, you beat me to it.
There is also a Pityme in cornwall.
Plus a Barcelonaand London Apprentice.

I always smirk at Puddletown in Dorset, because as a nipper, I discovered its name was changed from Piddletown which was rude to a little me.
(and Queen Victoria, if I remember correctly). It sits on the river Piddle.

Hey Diddle diddle,
The cat did a Piddle
All over the kitchen floor.
The little dog laughed to see such fun,
so the cat did a little bit more.

Ah, the hilarity.

This is a town a few miles south of Kansas City, Missouri. Before the town had a name, in order to establish a post office, they needed a name for the town. They wanted the name Excelsior. Postal service said there was already a Missouri town named Excelsior Springs, Missouri and it may cause confusion in mail delivery. Officials said they didn’t care what the name was as long as it different or peculiar. So the postal service chose Peculiar. BTW, as a side note, I went on a date in my youth with a girl that lived in Peculiar, Missouri.
