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 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....

But of course, Nickel although it will need a suitably MN name.

There would be several schools in the locality:

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