There are some pretty wacky place names. What are some where you live that make folks go "huh?"

 

Two from my home state:

Hahira (pronounced "hay-HIGH-rah")

Euharlee (pronounced "YOU-har-lee")

Some odd ones out there - I personally like Turtletown, Goat City, and Nameless (it's Nameless not nameless it has a name but the name is Nameless).

I think Australia has a heap. Just put a pin in the map and you'll find some weird names close by.

I found this list, which has a heap over here: http://www.list-directory.info/lists/place-names.html

My favorites are TittyBong and Yorkheys Knob :)

There's a village reasonably near me called Dull.

It is twinned with Boring in the US and Bland in Australia.

There are some places in Scotland that confuse me in how they are pronounced compared to how they are spelled.

Milngavie is pronounced Mulguye. (The disparity is caused by the origin Gaelic spelling, but I still find it weird)

I read these before and looked it up again to share it.

“I was holed up in Boring, Oregon, wondering whether I should try someplace different. So I hopped in my car and drove to Why, Arizona, to figure things out. After a few days I found my answer in Whynot, Mississippi: I needed a town with some life to it. I made a beeline for Disco, Tennessee, where I danced so much, I wore out my shoes. The next day, I headed to Loafers Glory, North Carolina, for a new pair…

“Afterward I looked sharp enough to take a break in Handsome Eddy, New York. Eddy wasn’t around, but I knew where to find him—in Loveladies, New Jersey, where it seemed that all the women were trying to get to Husband, Pennsylvania

“It was a tough town. One gal told me my romancing needed work and sent me to Sweet Lips, Tennessee. Heartbroken, I put the car on cruise control and drove to Lonelyville, New York, for a stiff drink. I made a pit stop in The Bottle, Alabama, and finally hit rock bottom in Condemned Bar, California. Not surprisingly, I woke up the next morning in Cranky Corner, Louisiana. I knew that if I continued like this, I’d be headed straight to … Hell, Michigan…”

“Pulling myself together, I grabbed breakfast in Oatmeal, Texas, lunch in Sandwich, Massachusetts, and dessert in Pie Town, New Mexico. I should’ve stopped eating after Greasy, Oklahoma, because I was feeling pretty sick by the time I left Lick Skillet, Tennessee

In Brilliant, Ohio, it finally dawned on me—I had to cease my wandering ways. I parked in Do Stop, Kentucky, took out the map, and chose my new home. I didn’t need Wealthy, Texas, or Fame, West Virginia. I found everything I needed in Happyland, Oklahoma
