Perversely, the net-journal of Iceland's Placename Institute (Örnefnastofnun) does not place each article on a separate page with its own name, eh, url. If you want to read Sævar Þ. Jóhannesson's article on camp names from the American and British occupations of Iceland, you will have to navigate from the forsíða of Nefnir yourself. But here, because I like lists, is a list of some of the names:
Alabaster
Skipton
Bingley
Bradford
Harrowgate
Keighley
Ripon
Selby
Tadcaster
Pershing
Curtis
Tripoli
Camberley
Crownhill
Montezuma
Corregidor
Tientsin
Bunker Hill
Knox
Caledonia
Sheridan
Macarthur
Meeks
Kwitcherbelliakin
Very odd to think of Skerjafjörður as Ford Fjord, but perhaps no more odd than the íslenskuð örnefni I've mentioned before.
