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)
Bellinghausen regards,
