Towns with double-barrelled names

Is it just me, or are doubled-barrelled place-names inherently funny? I give you:

Bishops Stortford
St Albans
St Ives
Milton Keynes
Newton Abbot
Kings Lynn
Great Yarmouth
East Cheam
West Bromwich
Bognor Regis
Waltham Abbey
Newport Pagnell
Potters Bar
Hemel Hempstead
Saffron Walden

... don't get me started on place-names like:

Ashby-de-la-Zouche
Weston-Super-Mare
Welwyn Garden City
Royal Tunbridge Wells
