Really Silly City Names!

[LordRaiden]

I was just going over a few citys that are local to where I live and a thought struck me. Some cities have cool names, some have dumb names, and some are just plain weird. For example, here in Michigan, here are a few examples:

Climax <- :Q WTF were they thinking when they named this city??
Put In Bay <- Not even a town near water!

Anyone else know of any city names they consider silly or just seriously messed up?

Have you ever read the book about the serial killer/rapist they had there? David Parker Ray and the book is called "Slow Death." Not only does the town have a fvcked up name, all the people there are fvcked up and into drugs or just plain nuts.

Another funny city name: Arab, AL pronounced AAAAAAAAAAAAAarabbbbbbbbbb.
