Mumsnet County … name a place, street, shop or service

Your challenge is to suggest names for the places, streets and shops that would make up the County of Mumsnet.

The city would be called Forum. Its suburbs: Boden (designer, very expensive), Hunbury Hills (flashy and a bit TOWIE), Cleek (gated community).

There would be a bunting factory to work in, naturally it is called Cuntings Bunting

There would be a massive bridge over to Nethuns the rest of the world that makes a trip-trap sound whenever walked over.

There would be several schools in the locality:

Gifted and Talented Grammar, located near to Cleek. Everyone fights to get in there.

There would have to be a dark side. A few no-go areas.... the Gina Ford abandoned mine, the Breast vs Bottle flooded quarry and the I Voted Conservative lonely footpath....
