Don't some places have funny names. At least the funny name places are not usually duplicated. I live in a small city called Upper Hutt. No other place in the world called this. Name is associated with a major river and domestic water supply source called Hutt River which in turn happens to be named after a middle ranking British guy who I don't think ever visited New Zealand. The main city in my region is Wellington - whose boundary is just a 15 minute drive away - and I believe there are 27 other Wellingtons in the world.
Hey,some people in NZ think we should change the name of our currency from the dollar to the zeal ( fits in with the nation's name New Zealand). What do you think of zeal?
