just a fun post :)

Intercourse, Pennsylvania
The town of Cross Keys, nestled in Pennsylvania’s Amish country, changed its name to Intercourse in 1814. How and why is anybody’s guess.
Idiotville, Oregon
Idiotville is a ghost town and former logging community northwest of Portland. Most of its former residents worked at a nearby logging camp called Ryan's Camp. Because of the camp’s remote location, locals said that only an idiot would work and live there.
Ding Dong, Texas
The fact that Ding Dong is in central Texas’ Bell County is a funny coincidence. The county was named for Governor Peter Bell, and the town for resident and businessman Zulis Bell and his nephew Bert (no relation to the governor).
Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha!, Quebec
The municipality of Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha! in Quebec has a name that makes perfect sense -in French. Sort of. The Ha! Ha! is officially traced back to an archaic French term, "The haha," which means an unexpected obstacle or dead end.
Hot Coffee, Mississippi
In the early 1800s, travelers on their way to Mobile often stopped at an inn in southern Mississippi, where owner Levi Davis greeted them with ginger cookies and a pot of piping hot coffee. The inn took on the name of its signature beverage, and eventually so did the surrounding area.
Knockemstiff, Ohio
Knockemstiff is a small rural town in south central Ohio. Several legends give different explanations for the name. One says that in the 1800s, a traveling preacher entering town came across two women fighting over a man. The preacher doubted the man was worth the trouble and said that someone should “knock him stiff.”
Two Egg, Florida
This little burg got its name during the Great Depression. The story goes that in the town’s general store, two lads often came in on errands for their mom, regularly trading two eggs for a package of sugar. Locals began referring to the place as the “two egg store,” and the name stuck for the town as well. Strange fact: On the town’s website, there is news about sightings of a Bigfoot-type creature called the Two Egg Stump Jumper.
Cookietown, Oklahoma
This place supposedly got its name in the early 1900s, after general store owner Marvin Cornelius gave a cookie to a young boy, who exclaimed, “I don’t want to leave Cookietown.” Despite its yummy name, Cookietown is more of a ghost town today—just a few residents and a church.

    I've heard, but not sure from where, that the names of the villages - cities will be locked by IS.
    I hope this is true to avoid the inevitable "Node McNode-Face," but also other random names players can sometimes come up with.

    The list was fun to read through, thank you.

    Quite a few amusing town names in the county of Dorset in the UK. We seem to have a concentration of them here in an area of less than 1,000 square miles. There is even a river call the river piddle. In fact many funny names all over the UK just not sure how many of these would be funny to non British people unless you understand some of our lesser offensive swear words.

    The sign for the village of Shitterton was stolen so many times the villagers paid for a stone sign :grin:
