Well, when it comes to names of places, some of my favorites are:

Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso)
Addis Ababa (Ethiopia)
Uuande, Cameroon
Gabarone, Botswana
Tegucigalpa (and that's got to be a poor spelling!)
Belmopan, Belize

Seychelles (because it looks like seashells even though it's not pronounced the same)

Madagascar (oh, that is one of the most evocatively romantic sounding places of all to my ear)

Kiribati (because it sounds so different from how it looks)


Celebes Sea

Banda Sea

Timor Sea

Bellinghausen Sea (hard to beat that)
