***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
It’s a shame we can’t take any major road trips right now (thanks to our wee one) since this week’s giveaway has us itching to head north to Kennebunkport, Maine. That’s because Spaces Kennebunkport– the shop behind today’s prize- embodies just the type of comfortable seaside home accents that Sherry and I love. Never mind that we can barely spell the name… we still want to eat up everything in their store. Have no fear if you also can’t make it out to K-town. Spaces Kennebunkport has an awesome
And not that we’re in the business of telling people how to spend their prize money, but here are some things we would totally snag for ourselves:

MAINE ME!!!
i grew up in cool, california. it’s in the foothills of the sierra nevada mountains, northeast of sacramento. it’s a tiny, blinking stoplight town. my dad always says, “i’m so cool, i live there.”
Katie says
MAINE ME!!!! Can’t think of any really funny names, but I just came back from Sunset Beach, NC and that is one of the nicest named places I’ve ever been.
Melissa says

I don’t think I’ve visited very many towns with crazy names, but I did drive on a Fifi Rd once…

I always laugh at Cheboygan, MI…reminds me of Seinfeld.
Liz says
MAINE ME!
Wow, I’ve NEVER been anywhere close to the first post on a YHL entry!
Laine says
MAINE ME!
I used to live in PA which has crazy town names all over the place, with classics like Intercourse. Now that we moved to VA, Bumpass is a favorite.
Amy Davis says
MAINE ME!
Erin @ Domestic Adventure says
MAINE ME! I’m super psyched to see a giveaway from my home state. Kennebunkport is a fun town to visit, so this would be the perfect opportunity for a little road trip down the coast!
Hillary says
Maine Me!
Melissa says
Maine Me!
I’m from a town called Paradise! Located in Northern California. It is not as tropical and relaxing as it sounds. More of a retirement community. Great name, none-the-less.
Thanks! Love all the work you’ve done.
Becca B. says
MAINE ME!
I have been to Kennebunkport and it’s beautiful there! I grew up in a town called Flower Mound in Texas. Definitely get some strange looks when I tell people where I’m from.
Jenifer Dafria says
MAINE ME!
My hometown is near, “Normal”, MN.
Ursula Graham says
MAINE ME!
The only odd city name I remember is Ursa, IL just because it’s similar to my name Ursula. I used to live near Niceville, FL which is a pretty funny name the first time you hear it. :)
Joy says

Lindsey says

Kat says

I don’t think it’s a city, but I have always been glad I did not live in “Bumpass” Virginia!

Michele Daggar says
MAINE ME! No funny city names here in Western NY (Rochester.) We do have towns named Rome, Greece, and Egypt though!!!
Jessica says
MAINE ME!
My favorite is Mianus, CT. (giggle)
Stephanie says
MAINE ME! Hell, MI always makes me laugh when I see it on the map!
Dawn says
MAINE ME!
I always laugh when I hear the weather report for Waupan, Wisconsin because it reminds me of the episode of “Friends” where Chandler is trying to make the “whip” sound!
Leslie says
MAINE ME!
Santa Claus, Georgia!
Jessica says
MAINE ME!
When I used to live in Kentucky, there was a small town that we’d always stop in for gas in between Louisville and Lexington, called Waddy, Kentucky.
Katie says
“Main Me!”
Melissa K says
MAINE ME!
Also, I grew up in Succasunna, NJ. While it’s not a difficult word, I would constantly have to spell it for people. It means “Black Dirt” or something close to that in Lenape; and yes, the soil is very dark and rich.
Jennifer D. says
MAINE ME! The oddest sounding name of a place I visited was Cochabamba in Bolivia.
Kate says
MAINE ME!
This one isn’t too crazy but always makes me laugh–Dumfries, Va :)
I love this stores items–so many cool finds!!
Monica says
MAIN ME!
I’ve never been to this town but I guess it’s well known for it’s abundance of
unique pottery shops…. Whynot, NC :)
tasha roe says
MAINE ME!
Intercourse, PA
April Zook says
MAINE ME!
I’ve never lived anywhere with a funny name, but I laugh anytime I hear about Intercourse, PA :) Hee Hee
Sarah says
MAINE ME!!
I have only lived in one city, but have heard of Hobo Station, MS!!
Lauri says
Love the site!
MAINE ME! Bonus Question: I live in West Texas, and the stark landscape necessitates a lot of creativity when naming towns. Out here we’ve got No Trees (pretty self-explanatory), Floydada (named after town founders, Floyd and Ada), Pep (You’ve gotta have it out here!), Sundown (because of our excellent sunsets), Shallowater (the only water we’ve got), and Sudan (a bit of an overstatement, if you ask me!). Thanks, Lauri.
Melissa says
MAINE ME!
The only funny name I can think of is a town in NY Ho-Ho-Kus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho-Ho-Kus,_New_Jersey
Love your site!
Jeni says
MAINE ME!
Bacon, TX; Noodle, TX; Rice, TX (there are more but I’ll stop here)
Jen B says
MAINE ME!
You could always visit Do Stop, Pig, Possum Trot, Monkey’s Eyebrow, or Schochoh (pronounced like “Shock-co”) in Kentucky.
Duho says
Maine Me!
How about Kickapoo, IL? Makes me laugh when I say it.
Megan says
Maine Me!
Susan F says
Maine Me!
I’d love to go to Hell Michigan in the winter, and take a picture next to the city sign with snow on the ground. Something appeals to me about being in Hell when it’s frozen over.
Deborah Gosling says
Maine me! I grew up in Los Alamos, NM — people call it “Lost Almost” because it’s in the middle of nowhere and used to be a secret place.
Sophie says
maine me!
LOL – can’t really think of funny city names but I’m chuckling the ones in the comments so far.
mel zeiger says
MAINE ME!!
We’re big fans fo Hills, IA, b/c the only hill for miles is actually a man made on and off ramp :)
Joanna says
MAINE ME!!! I love visiting Kennebunkport and can’t wait to visit Spaces.
I’ve passed through Ponkapoag, MA and thought it was a great town name!
marisa says
MAINE ME! I live near Walla WAlla WAshington, people always think that’s a funny name.
pds says
Maine me!
I sort of wish I lived in Garrison Keillor’s Lake Wobegon. Alas, I’ve lived in towns with boring names.
Brooke says
MAINE ME!
I was born in Normal, IL.
