Yes, I’ve seen plenty. I’ve heard here in Finland that one explanation for some of the bizarre and let us say rude names is cartographers going around asking people what this or that place is called and people having fun with it or just fucking with them. And I think a lot of people just find it amusing in general. “Hey, that hill looks like a tit. Titty hill. Hehe.”

A lot of names are also based on folk etymology, where corrupted names or names from different languages get merged with similar sounding words of completely different meaning.

You could have just said “Dull”, it would have been quicker
