Rhombus. Or maybe Leeuwenhoek (more of a spelling than sound, should be
written "Lavenhook" IMO).

Poe is said to have been partial to "cellar door".
Myself, I think "Mogadishu" is just a very cool
sounding word, although I'm not sure how it is
actually pronounced in Somali.

In general I think Swahili (yes, I know it's not
related to Somali) has some of the neatest word sounds
in the world.  What's your favorite sounding word?
