    I looked at lists because I could only think of a few.  There are hundreds though.  These are from  the three states in which I have lived as an adult.

      That one has two verbs in it! (Wait, you’re not kissing up to me, are you? Because if you are, I like it, I like it! I’m so happy, folks.)

    Too easy! I know of place names in my own country that consist of two verbs:

     - Spotland
     - Burnage
     - Drypool
     - Haltwhistle
     - Spurn Point

    The first three are urban neighborhoods, the fourth a village, the last was formerly a spit, now a tidal island.

    The names of several rivers and watercourses - including the Chew, Tame and Dart.

    Settle, North Yorkshire.

    Bury, Lancashire.

    Stoke (a common place name)

    Then there is Essen, Germany (which means "to eat" in German).
