THIS ISN'T ABOUT MISSING CONTENT JUST THE NAMES. MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE THEM FOR THAT FAN GAME IDEA?
Nintendo Power Issue 099 first reported on 16 worlds for Banjo-Kazooie. Many of those 16 worlds made it in. But there are a few names that came up in the article for worlds that never made it:
- Mount Fire Eyes
- Mount Fire Eye (according to Nintendo Magazine Issue 59)
- Fungus Forest
- Hammerhead Beach
Though Hammerhead Beach might just be the beta name for Treasure Trove Cove. I could never find the source or the origin of the name for Giant's Lair.
Project Dream / Banjo-Kazoo had the entire game scrapped. Only one level is ever named and that was by Grant Kirkhope. Here is a list of the levels, most are my interpretation of reading Gregg Mayles' handwriting. Asterisk means that I am guesstimating.
- Prickly Pear Island
- Balloon Crossing
- Banjo's House
- Beach 1-3

Not much is known for Banjo-Tooie, the only beta name I've come across was from notes about the music uploaded by Grant Kirkhope: Hagland. In the original Glitter Gulch Mine concept art it referred to Isle O Hags as Witch Island.
I've datamined Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and found what information I could. It appears that Jiggosseum had its name changed, the first two are the beta names, the last is a scrapped world:
- LOGOlympics
- World of Sports
- Weird West
Outside of beta names, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts has several worlds that are joke names for worlds that are implied to exist in the Banjo-Kazooie universe:
- Tooty Land
- Sewers of Severity
- Hoedown Town
- L.O.G. City
- Trashton
- Boringshire
- Yawnshire
- Vomit Volcano
- Gottenham
- Dulby County
- Dingpot Town
In Liam Robertson's video on Grunty's Curse / Grunty's Revenge we can see several beta names and cut worlds, I believe Breegull Beach stayed consistent throughout development.
- Cottage Farm
- Soggy Bog Swamp
- Freezing Fjord
- Dire Dockyard
- MohendraBanjo
- Jungle Ruins
- Jungle Temple
- Fiery Furnace
- Lava Labyrinth
- Grunty's Stronghold
