I already imagined it would be too much, but I hoped it would be okay (where I come from, this wouldn't have been much of a problem, but I agree one has to obey the rules...which I'll have to read again). I however understand this be over the line and I apologize again. Anyway, most of the placenames never were meant to be obscene anyway... they all have perfectly good etymological origins that only became fun recently. As the site about F***ing said, the names dates back to 1070, and I doubt the locals were by then already chuckling about the reaction of English people. I actually remember someone telling me that he once followed a class about Medieval France (in English) and that some Americans also following it couldn't stop laughing about the place-name Nancy... but in French it's a perfectly reasonable word.
