Real life Cantr places

I have now seen something very weird. I have seen a collection of roads with the same name as places in Cantr. In the UK I have seen
Reniov Road
Siom House
and Brunoi Meadows.
Weird or what? Has anyone else found roads with the same or similar names to Cantr places?

lol...that's cool, maybe Jos picked some names up he liked and used them in Cantr. I haven't seen any places with Cantr names in Florida though.

No, the English must have copied from Cantr!
And I did not know - the names if Cantr are all completely random. (Well, there are some details different, of course - e.g. Knatr is a variance on Cantr; Shortinazy and Longinazy have some relation; etc. - but in general, it's all random.)

Whoa...freaky...I haven't seen any in Indiana but I'll keep my eyes peeled. Those places must have copied off Cantr! Next thing you know someone will find a place like Cantr County or something, with like a Quillanoi in it!! *hears the Twight Zone theme in the backround*

Yes, Here at the Cantr Naming Bureau, we choose names by relentlessly assaulting keyboards with sledgehammers...ALL DAY LONG O_O

Well, you get interesting names with that method, not?

Oddly enough as well, Reniov Road has a forest nearby. So I like to name it Reniov Forest.

No, nononononono, that's too pronounceable. Remove all the vowels and add them into something that already has too many, and THEN we might be on to something.

I agree. Those names would not be pretty good. Feeblevash and otehrs like that might.
You could allways do something like name it New ............. .

More! More!
wernbfdiop
aseknregb
tnjsfdiownib
adjusting for vowel deficiency, i get
Wernbefdiop (that one sounds fairly cantr-realistic)
Aseknrejb --because when all else fails throw in an unpronounceable J
Tjnsdiownib--rearrange the J's to be vowels, for some reason.
