Flights of Fantasy

Where do they dream up the names of airports? Take Fuhlsbuettel for example. Sounds like an over-dose of Tolkein. Or Malpensa - clearly a bad idea. John Wayne International airport is better. "Get off your house and drink your milk." Or John Lennon International airport - above us only sky. But Robin Hood? (Nottingham / East Midlands).

Why not James Marshall Hendrix airport? (Seattle?) Or Frank Zappa? (Baltimore?) A bit more exciting than London Luton... (or do I mean Lorraine Chase International?)
