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

MAINE ME!
I am from a small town in Indiana, which doesn’t have an exciting name, but the county is Kosciusko county. It’s a challenge to learn how to spell!

Have to say, I’ve not noticed any weird city names… We do have a state park however that is called Big Bone Lick… (And I could say the names from the cities in Iceland that my husband is from, but it’s only weird to me, because I’m not actually from there!)

Kill devil Hill, NC
Caroline says
MAINE ME! I never lived in a town with a really funny name, but I did grow up in Canada, which meant that middle school geography class was filled with lots of snickering. One of the province capitals is Regina, pronounced like…

Maine Me!!
I live in Enumclaw, in Washington State. It means “home of the evil spirits.” Nice and welcoming, isn’t it? I also lived in Issaquah. I remember when we moved from Issaquah to Enumclaw and making all the change of address phone calls. I spent a lot of time spelling!
Jennifer says
Maine me!
Sarah Hoesly says
Maine ME…ME ME ME!
I grew up near a town called “Humansville”, and it’s a bit ironic because I’m pretty sure humans are far outnumbered by livestock.

I think Virginia has some of the most unique spellings/pronunciations. My favorite is Botetourt County, VA (pronounced Bot-e-tot). Or maybe Buena Vista (pronounced Buu-na).
