MAINE ME!
For unique names, I love the cities with Native American roots in their names. IE: Sequim WA, pronounced the same as Squid but with an M at the end, and my hometown of Cotati CA. Pronounced Co-tot-e.

MAINE ME!
On a road trip in college, my friend swears she saw a town called “Sugar Tit” on the map in Kentucky. I’m from Indiana originally, and we have several interesting town names, including Toad Hop, Munster, French Lick (and yes, we giggle when we say this name) and Roachdale. I moved to Arizona, where I’ve always found the town of Snowflake to be funny. We also have a town called Why.
