Pariisi, Lääne-Viru County - Paris (genitive case, so actually Paris's)
Norra, Järva County - Norway
Moldova, Ida-Viru County - self-explanatory
Ringuta, Rapla County - stretch
Koeravere, Lääne-Viru County - dog's blood (genitive case, so actually dog's blood's)
Tapa, Estonia - kill
Loobu, Estonia - leave, let it be

The two last ones form a hilarious direction sign, with one direction saying "kill" and the other one saying "leave it be".

Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha!, Quebec, Canada. Yes, that exclamation mark is part of the name:

Via ProMods I found the Danish town "Aars", which means nothing special for Danes I think, but for Dutch people "Aars" means arse.
And it has already been mentioned, but I live close to "Hongerige Wolf".
And in Friesland, my neighbour province, there's a town called "Sexbierum", without the obvious sex, it means Sex-Beer-Rum (Sex-Bier-rum).
But then again, the people in Friesland have an own language which is hard to understand for people from other provinces :D
