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

Jeannine @ Small and Chic says
MAINE ME!
We used to spend our summers near Kennebunk! Hooray for Maine!
Someone above mentioned Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ…I grew up in Ridgewood! What a small world.
The most funky town names I’ve encountered are in southern New England, where I went to school. I can’t spell them and I can barely pronounce them. The local news used to have a commercial with reporters standing front of town signs just saying the town names…it always made me laugh.
The towns of Loveladies and Harvey Cedars on LBI in NJ always made me laugh.
Laura Knapp says
MAINE ME!!
Elif says
MAINE ME!…a good friend is from Lima, Ohio. It’s pronounced like the bean, not the city in Peru.
Christine P says
MAINE ME
Walla Walla, the city so nice they named it twice =)
Anne says
I’m Canadian, so I can’t enter the contest, but I have to say the funniest place-name I’ve seen is Dildo, Newfoundland. Hilariously, it’s also across the bay from Spread Eagle, NL. We Canadians have a sense of humour, at least! :-)

Withlacoochee! Not a town, but a river near where I grew up in FL

I live in Portland, Maine – about a 40 mins. up the coast. I can’t believe I’ve never been here! I might have to hit the highway today for a quick trip south!
Randa says

Lisa says
MAINE ME!
I, too, live near Intercourse, Blue Ball, Bird in Hand, etc. My grandmother also lives in Waddle, PA. And while it’s not a town name, we have streets nearby with weird names, like Spendabuck Drive. Who comes up with this stuff?
Dallas Landrum says

I was always a big fan of Why, Arizona, although I always thought they should have added the question mark on the end of the town’s name.

I grew up in a small town named Phelan (pronounced like Feel’in). Rumor has it that the High School was named Phelan High for a short while, until the school noticed the joke…

Jen says
MAINE ME!
I actually visit Kennebunkport fairly often with my family on summer vacations, so this would be great!!

MAINE ME
Just visited Wales for the first time. Lots of towns with names that are just a lot of consonents strung together. The most helpful information office was in a tow called Mold.
Tabitha says
MAINE ME …. I live in Oregon and we have a few great names like “Maupin, OR” must be a very tidy town or “Enterprise, OR” Beam me up Scotty!!! Hee Hee

I love the white ceramic elephant. I have a circus vibe in my living room and it would look great on my mantle.
My favorite city name is Truth or Consequences, NM. I haven’t been there but it sounds very mysterious!

Maryland has a town named Scaggsville! We were passing the sign on the highway one time with my husband’s friend in the car, and he just thought it was hysterical!
Erin H says
MAINE ME!!!! I’d love to be “Mained” b/c I am a Mainer originally. What a great place to go home to now…absolutely beautiful! Oh and there is a Paris, Maine, a China, Maine, a Poland, Maine, and on and on!
Amy B. says
Maine Me!
My family used to take trips to Arkansas to visit my mom’s parents. On the drive we always saw a sign for Toadsuck State Park. I’m not kidding. It made me laugh in what was always an incredibly boring drive.
