Sounds a bit like Nottingham
Turns out that was originally called Snottingham, or home of the Snotts. However, when the Vikings came over they couldn't pronouce the 'S' at the start, so they renamed it Nottingham, or home of the Notts.

As you can imagine, this wasn't too popular with the people of Scunthorpe...

Hahaha
I actually did know that about my home town, but understandably was not keen to publicise it.

Nottingham is fucking brilliant anyway, you just need to avoid all the guns. As long as you stay away from Forest Fields, The Meadows and St Anns, you probably won't be murdered.

90% of the time I've been in Nottingham, I've spent in Lenton.
