I’m guessing that Americans wouldn’t make fun of British place names as much if they didn’t insist on having place names like “Twickenham,” “Ham Lands,” and “Eel Pie Island.”

A screenshot of a real estate listing for a UK mansion. The text says, “Twickenham, Greater London Cross Deep is a Grade II*-listed Georgian mansion built in about 1690 and expanded in 1751 by the architect James Gibbs, who designed St Martin-in-the-Fields. This prestigious nine-bedroom, six-bathroom property sits in grounds that run down to the Thames as it snakes between Twickenham and the Ham Lands nature reserve. It is just west of Eel Pie Island, only accessible by boat or footbridge. There's a basement and summerhouse and it is only the second time it has been up for sale in a century. £8.5m. Savills, 020 8447 4410.”
