Weird Place Names

I was booking some flights yesterday for some clients jetting off to Beijing. It was whilst searching for available airports that I noticed an island called Beef Island. Beef Island! Who thought that name up?
You can just imagine the conversation can’t you:

Oh look that’s a pretty island what shall we call it?
Well it’s got a cow on it shall we call it Beef Island?
Yeah go on, I can’t think of anything better.
