Um could you exaplain?? And how is this a trivia contest?

Would my town of Granite Quarry work, seeing that you have a quarry that you get granite out of is called A Granite Quarry.

Rockwell, a town right beside us, and in the center of the town, they have a park with A Rock Well

Gold Hill - I have no idea where they got the name, considering I'm not sure there is any gold there.

Back in WWII, there was a British ad that said "Give your men head!" I suspect it meant acknowledge their efforts in the war.

Actually, it was the first place in the US that they found Gold... I think. Feel free to correct me, but I think that's what the sign says on the interstate. (hey, thats SO not fair, they have their name on the interstate!)

Off the coast where my town is there's this tiny island called Isola di Mal di Ventre. It literally means "Belly- ache isle", but that was mispelled:
Malu Entu meant bad wind ( so that it was the bad wind isle), but Malu Entu turned for some reason into Mal di Ventre , which means belly ache isle.

In Norway we have a place named Hell - it's also a Norwegian word that translates to luck in English (and a German word that translates to bright or light in English)
