Coming up with place names is so much fun! In a collaborative world I build with a friend awhile ago he added a section of coastline and labled it "The Stiches". He then explained that it was originally called "The Coast of Riches" but the locals have a word game/dialect that they use to combine words by taking pieces of each. Cultural detail and a great name all in one!

Also "Newfoundland" in Canada is usually pronounced "NOO-fn-land" so kestrelgrey is spot on about "reducing". Very cool insight.
