I think you are referring to

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

which may mean something similar to that which what you.

Names like Eglwyswrw actually sound OK when spoken by a Welshman.

Egg -  glue - a/i - sue - roo.

Incidentally, my father was born in Brooklyn, my mother in India, my welsh
credentials are tenuous. My wife, who is from Tennessee speaks some Welsh
though. If you can imagine a Southern Girl saying
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch ? You might think
you could soft boil an egg by the time she would get to the end of it.
