Airports with weird/different names

Hi everyone,
First time poster, long term reader.

I am currently researching airports and the way they are branded, and more precisely how they name themselves for my first research article i am writing for an aerospace magazine.

I am looking for your help in giving me examples of airports and their names which are perhaps a bit different from the rest, or perhaps slightly obscure.

For example, in the UK there is Robin Hood Doncaster International, and Liverpool John Lennon Airport, and in the US there is John F Kennedy and John Wayne Intnl.

Also can anyone think of airports which are branded to not exactly where they are. For example in Europe Ryanair brand Hahn as Frankfurt-Hahn despite it being some 120km from Frankfurt.

Any help will be extremely helpful.
