Cool Suburb Names

I like that there is a suburb in Sydney called Ultimo.

The more you say it, the more awesome it gets. It goes from sounding like a suburb, to sounding like a giant metal robot that shoots lasers from his eyes.



I! AM! ULTIMO!!

SKOOM!!

Surely nothing beats the Brisbane suburb ... "Camp Hill"

Come now, Maso. My man Ultimo could obliterate Camp Hill with a mere sideways glance from his laser eyes.

Dear Ben,
I am very excited to tell you that I work in... you guessed it.... ULTIMO!
I will never say it again without thinking of Ultimo! The giant robot!
Lolololol.

Awesome. It is always good to meet one of the cogs in the great machine that is Ultimo.

I work in an industrial suburb in Mackay called "Paget".

Before we moved here, I had an interview with an organisation where everyone we (hubby & I) heard say the name called it "Pageant". Needless to say, we had trouble finding it on the map to begin with. Fortunately, not everyone here has such trouble with the pronunciation.
