Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

(Southern) Germany has Hintertupfingen, where "Hinter-" refers to "behind".
It really sounds like some 1000 year old village with 20 inhabitants.
Is that a real village? I only have a little knowledge of German but it sounds like a finger up the bum. Or a bum up the finger, I'm not sure
It's not real and nor does it refer to fingers or your bum.
-ingen is a common suffix for towns in Baden-Württemberg. Tübingen, Reutlingen, Vaihingen, Villingen-Schwenningen are some of the bigger ones that come to my mind. But like half the towns are named -ingen.
So it's more like Hinter-tupf-ingen if you want to lose the finger association.
