From a 1945 edition of Time magazine, in the section "Miscellany"
"Whistle Stop. In Wales, when the war time ban on railway-station signs was removed, a stationmaster restored his town's 30-foot long sign: Llanfairpwllgwyngo-gerychrynbwllllandysiliogogogoch."
According to Wikipedia the town is still there, and they have an extensive article of their own (linked) which notes that, due to the unusually long and difficult spelling, the name of the town is "commonly known as Llanfair PG or Llanfairpwll. "
So, it seems Lanfear has her very own town in Wales. Pronouncing its full name is probably harder than channeling the One Power.

If I tried to get a name half that awful in a D&D setting, my players would hang me.
