        This is my favorite pet peeve. I got through 6 pages of a fantasy novel where the writer spent multiple paragraphs describing alcohol made from potatoes and then called it “voka.”

        Those 6 pages hit on every trope possible. Not even in an entertaining way. It took itself way too seriously.

        While I agree with you on the whole, there are some real world places with names that go hard.

        Like Dead Man’s Pass, Oregon. Or Devil’s Gate, Utah.

        …Maybe it’s just a Western US thing.
