    Like the title says, what's the longest place name you can think of? NO CHEATING!

    Here in Wales, UK; we have a town called Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

    This translates to "The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave" in english :)

    Can you top it without cheating? :D

    Where's that? (my geography sucks!)

    Maybe this thread would've been more fun if it was "longest place name in your state" xD

    Ben Goulding of Pig Jockey has a list of the world’s longest place names, including Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateahaumaitawhitiurehaeaturipukakapiki maungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu. That’s a hill in New Zealand. Because it’s such a long name, most people just call it Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu for short.

    Taumata­whakatangihanga­koauau­o­tamatea­turi­pukakapiki­maunga­horo­nuku­pokai­whenua­kitanatahu

    It's the Maori name for a hill in Porangahau, New Zealand, apparently.

    Man, try to say it 10 times as fast as you can, you'll end up at a tongue clinic.

    Seriously, how can these people remember the spellings of those places without cheating? They've just Googled copy paste it here. :D lol So what if I named my home "Thehousewiththeuberloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnngestname' then would it make my place the longest? lol!
