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

MAINE ME!
Well, I used to live in Kennebunkport, but since I think that one’s off the list, I also used to live next to a town once known as “Sleepy Lonesome.”

Bat Cave, NC always makes me laugh :)
Zara Stevens says
Maine Me!
I once spent a summer flying float planes in Flin Flon, Manitoba, Canada. It’s so small and so far north you actually have to fly into the town just to get there.
Stephanie says
MAINE ME!
I always giggled at French Lick. IN. Hometown of Larry Bird, and really close to where my dad grew up.
Escondido Jess says
MAINE ME!! Oh, please, oh, please, oh please…

in Pennsylvania – Intercourse, Bird-in-Hand
in Oregon – Boring
in Oklahoma – Hooker
in Minnesota – Embarrass
Autumn Tao says

You gotta love this one… Buttzville, NJ.
Shana says
MAINE ME!
I don’t think Canadians are actually eligible to win BUT I had to share the name of where I grew up:
Dummer Township, Ontario Canada.
Yes Dummer. The neighbouring township was called Douro and there was a very “springfield/shelbyville” vibe between the rival townships. People in Douro made fun of us by saying they lived “on the Dummer side of Douro”. However, we got the last laugh when our provincial government had all these small communities amalgamate to save money on infrastructure and administration costs – we are now the Township of Dummer-Douro!
HA.
Christine says
MAINE ME!
In Massachusetts there’s Worchester but it’s pronounce Wooster! Or Woostah is you have a Mass accent :o)
Stacy says
MAINE ME! Never been to a unique/weird name of a town, but there is a town about an hour or two from us that is named WEED and they have Tshirts that says, ” I LOVE WEED!” LOL
Amanda says
Maine Me!!!
Climax, MI and Bad Axe, MI
Mary Cronkright says
MAINE ME!
Oddly enough, I’ve been to Hell, Michigan and really enjoyed my stay. It’s a very cute town with a lot of character.
Crystal G. says
MAINE ME! The funniest town name I can think of is just outside of my hometown and it’s called Cut and Shoot, Texas.
Suchita says
MAINE ME!!

Mary Margaret says
MAINE ME!
Debbie R says
“MAINE ME”!! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to shop in tha store. I would LOVE to just visit this town. I once drove through Mechanicsville, VA. Always get a chuckle when I see this town sign. I hope everyone is enjoying the Memorial Day week end and please don’t forget to stop and reflect on all of our servicemen and women and their families that have made the ultimate sacrifice!!
Lindsey says
MAINE ME! I grew up–and am going back to this week for my birthday and my little brother’s graduation–in a town called Sisters. When I went to college out-of-state people would give me a blank stare when I told them the name of my town. Usually they would say, “Like sisters and brothers?”
Also, in Oregon there is a town called Boring. The traffic signs always get a laugh out of me: “Boring Next Exit”, “Boring, 10 miles” etc. Oh how I would love to improve our little Wyoming house with some treasures from Maine!
Heather says
Maine Me!
Lindsey S says
MAINE ME!
I live in Indianapolis, which is not an exciting name. But every summer we drive to SC for vacation and pass by Bat Cave, NC. Which always causes at least half an hour of Batman and Robin references! And of course, we’ve been to family reunions and the like at French Lick, IN, which always gets out of state-ers giggling.
Katherine M. says
MAINE ME!
We have a town called Santa Claus in Georgia!
Jules says
MAINE ME!
But, for the life of me, I can’t think of a weird town name!
Asheley says
MAINE ME!
There is a little town west of Nashville called Bucksnort TN. I’m guessing a hunter named it.
Mary M. says
MAINE ME! I spent my teenage years in a place called Loveland, Ohio.
texasaggiemom says
Maine Me!
We live on the South Plains and there are a couple of obvious town names out here–Levelland and Plainview.
Allison R. says
MAINE ME!
I live in Madison, WI and there is a town in Wisco called Spread Eagle…I kid you not. The guys think it’s hilarious and made me take their picture by the town sign. Boys…
Melissa S. says
MAINE ME! We have a nearby town – Forked River, NJ. Out of towners pronouce it as it looks, but the locals know it is Fork-Ed (like the man’s name) River.
Ashley says
Maine Me!
Slapover, AR
Stephanie says
MAINE ME!
Not too weird, but I live in West St. Paul, which is actually SOUTH of St. Paul.

Kasey says
Maine Me :)
I live right by Bagdad. Not to be confused with the [other] Baghdad.
chacha says
MAINE ME!
This is a *great* giveaway.
The closest town with a weird name when I was growing up was probably Pawtucket, RI. Or Woonsocket, RI.
Out here in California… not too many weird names. Maybe El Cajon, CA – which means The Big Box.
Annie P. says
Maine Me!
Nikki says
Maine Me!!!
Feel sorry for all the guys who live in Blue Ball, PA although it’s a lovely town right in Amish Country!!!
Nancy Young says
MAINE ME! I’ve always enjoyed the confusion of place names that aren’t in their usual location. I have family that live in Texas, KY and California, KY. Although everyone finds my current residence, Kalamazoo, MI fun to say.
Nelly says
Maine me!
Weed, ca ;)
Wanda Kuo says
MAINE ME!
how ’bout frostproof, florida? :)
Lauren says
Maine me!
On the drive down from Dallas to Austin Texas, you’ll pass through Waxahachie, Italy, and the city of West (which is not in west Texas, but rather north central). West is famous for its Czech heritage, and if you ever make the drive, It’s almost sinful not to stop in West for a kolache at the Czech stop.
Ally says
MAINE ME!
joni says
MAINE ME!
my in-laws visited Blueballs, PA!
Justine says
Maine me!
I really don’t think I’ve been to, or heard of, any really unusual town names. I need to hit the road and travel more!
