Given I grew up in the Southwestern United States, the influence is primarily Espanol. Muy bien. 

Sinceramente,

  Yes, England is an old and classy place! I live in Massachusetts, and you'd be surprised how many cities/towns are named after UK ones (we have an Easthampton, Westhampton, Southampton--all small--and Northampton--hip college town).

  >From Wiki:
  The name Shepherds Bush is thought to have originated from the use of the common land here as a resting point for shepherds on their way to Smithfield Market in the City of London.[1] An alternative theory is that it could have been named after someone in the area, because in 1635 the area was recorded as "Sheppards Bush Green".

  London is a wee bit older than US cities ;-), hence many of the curious names for areas/regions. As for venue names, most are old
  music halls or theatres built between the late 1800s and 1930s (Brixton Academy was built in 1929 and used to be called the
  Astoria, Kentish Town Forum was built in 1934. Shepherds Bush Empire was built in 1903 and Charlie Chaplin once performed there.) Why 'Forum', 'Astoria' and 'Empire' etc were so popular I don't know,  a trend of the times I guess, possibly because they wanted 
  something that sounded grand and classy?

  As you were.

    One thing I never understood about the UK--why do all the clubs/concert halls or whatever have such strange names? Forums, Academies, and what the hell is Shephard's Bush? Why not sheep-herder's vagina?
