So this topic seems to be on the brain lately, actually been meaning to do a prompt like this for a while because I’m very much a stupid name enjoyer, but this seems like the right time. What are some organization names, or names in general, in your world that your characters think is stupid? Do people still actually use the name or do they have an informal substitute?

A little excerpt from my current manuscript:

The largest and flattest island, which was home to the City of Strangleroot, was blocked by these outer islands, so Fenicia could not see it. [...] The entire region had an unfairly negative reputation, on account of the strangleroot vine being popularly recognized as the ideal material to fashion a garrotte. Of course the vine had dozens or even hundreds of uses beyond choking animals to death, but the City’s inhabitants were uncomfortable enough to start the petition to change its name to “Tangletown.” The measure was actually gaining traction, which Fenicia found preposterous.
