Parangariqutirimiquaro. This is an example of such a word, and it is a real place in Mexico.

I dont think there is a word for words that are fun to say. Perhaps we should make one up!

___________

What comes to mind is something like "lilting words". Words that lilt. Lilt is usually a pleasing cadence, or rhythm in speech that also includes variety in spoken pitch. Usually the word refers to language in general, or to a melody. Why not apply it to certain words?

Linoleum

Appendectomy

Onomatopoeia

Jejune

While it is not technically a single word, this may be the grand daddy of all 'lilting' references:

THE BOY FROM TACAREMBO LA TUMBE DEL FUEGO SANTA MALIPAS ZATATECAS LA JUNTA DEL SOL Y CRUZ. From a song by Mary Rodgers and Stephen Sondheim, a take-off on Jobim's Girl from Ipanema.
