I visited Aopen in the Netherlands last year.
They're based in a town called 's-Hertogenbosch.

How can you start a place name with apostrophe s then a dash !!!

Mad !!!! Most of the locals just call it Denbosch, which is a little easier
to figure !

As a matter of interest, is three *currently* used names for one town a

Depends if they have to be three names in the same language or if they may
be different languages and if so, if they should be languages of the country
the city is located in. Liege/Luik/Luttich comes to mind.
