Post Strange waypoint names

I've long been intrigued by imaginative waypoint names, the blessed real ale drinker who gave us the Abbot arrival at STN for instance, there's an Ering, a Crabe, a Koley and a rather optimistic Samon in the North Sea, boredom can be staved off with a Komik, Beeno, Dandy and Busta and petrol heads can console themselves with Rolls, Royce, Emgee abd Singer. Our great Naval history is remembered at Hawke, Benbo, Drake and Hardy, tho it seems a bit harsh that you have to have a five letter surname to qualify. After all, what chance for Sir Cloudesley Shovell?

So what are your favourites?

Mine is the incredible Asole, yes, really! just east of Addis Ababa. Now how the hell do you say that on the RT?
