Maps with the true meaning of Place Names

[rabid1st]

A company has put out a line of maps using the meaning of the place names rather than the name itself.

So, we can all sound like we come from Mordor. I, for example, live along the God Is Gracious River in the Blooming Land. And I have many friends that come from The Land Where People Speak Normally. Find out where you live...

In America/Canada/Mexico...

Ooh, thanks for that! It's John's birthday in 3 weeks and now I know what to get for him. He'd love this!

Glad I could help. Jan is also a big fan of the maps. We will probably get a couple for framing.

How cool! I was just wondering what to get my brother for his birthday in two weeks--I'm thinking the British one.

My SO is a big fan. He wants one of Canada and the US to frame. We like maps in our house.

Hee - I would take issue with the claim of certain folk that they speak normally. Great Land of the Tattooed is sadly accurate.
