I believe there is a Norfolk in the USA too

Also I believe there is a Madeira in Canada

Which I’d imagine is the less famous Madeira pearl of the Atlantic and birth place to CR7

Quite. Last week I went to Broadway and Hollywood just by driving a few miles out of Birmingham (that's Birmingham, West Midlands not Birmingham, Alabama).

The USA is particularly interesting as it has place names originating from Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, native American and British origins. And they're just the ones I can think of without cheating and using Google.

Dorset sets the standard for confusion, you don’t even have to leave the county let alone the country to find two Charminsters, one’s a village outside Dorch, the others part of the sprawl they call Bournemouth.

Interesting. I’d love it if they used the correct pronounciation (“did-no”). Not really expecting it given how few here get it right, though

Haha, yes, I discovered this some years back when researching the family tree. Perhaps because Bournemouth was, once upon a time, part of Hampshire? Similarly, when I moved to Southbourne (Dorset), there was confusion when I set up mail redirection as there is also a village in Hampshire of the same name
