there used to be a page of that name on wikipedia, with a huge list of such. it's deleted now, but does anyone know how to access an old version of it (i.e. before deletion)?

I'm documenting all such in map form. Stuff like Ilson (Ilkeston), Chumley (Cholmondeley) or Cossy (Costessey). Ideally the local variants would still hopefully be in use amongst the oldest generations!

(Obviously there's also the well-known ones like Lestuh, Gloster, Wooster, and also stuff like Suvvuck, Berry and Norridge)

ones that are attested into at least the 20th century. Feel free to offer any suggestions etc. for inclusion!

(under construction)

Питам като част от лингвистично проучване по тази тема!
Примери могат да бъдат нещо като Пазарчузетс, Детройт (Димитровград) или Чикаго (Чирпан)... но не е задължително да са вдъхновени от Америка!

Също се интересувам дали има прякори за училища, паркове, площади, болници и др.

For examples in the NY area I've found references to LaGarbage/USS LaGuardia (referencing how it's tight to land in), DelayFK, Teterhole and Sewark. Further afield there's Buffasnow and Plattghanistan...
