The subject of the article are initial clusters in toponyms. The role of several factors was investigated: the existence, SSG obeying or SSG violating and the distance of the place and method of articulation. Real names were more often thought of as potentially existing. Artificial names that start with an existing and SSG obeying cluster were more often identified as potentially existing. Artificial names that start with a cluster that does not exist and is SSG violating, were more often identified as potentially non-existent. In the case of names beginning with a non-existent cluster, but SSG obeying or existing and SSG violating, the respondents had greater problems with providing answers.
