Why would they even use a name this long?
Exactly!It is so confusing and hard to pronounce it ,i think that who ever name that village was crazy.It seams that the name has a meaning :
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch name means "Saint Mary's Church (Llanfair) in the clearing (pwll) white hazel (gwyngyll) next (goger) fast stream (y chwyrndrobwll) and St. Tysilio (llantysilio) red cave (gogogoch)."

Couldve just called it st marys church.

Or St Mary's Church in the Clearing  Cheesy.
