If you can’t tell I’m from Kentucky. And yeah we have some of the most weird city names. Also, I honestly think that Dwarf is a “little person” town because I rmember my grandma talking to me about it one day saying that I’d get beat up if I went there because they don’t like “big people.”

As Jon said in KY we have Big Bone Lick State Park, which isn’t far from Rabbit Hash. Not to mention Black Gnat, Dog Walk, Hippo, Hazard, and Lovely. I guess Versailles (actually pronounced ver-sales since its a teeny little hick town), Paris, and London could be strange names as far as KY goes too…

A few that I’ve passed through at one time or another:

Pumpkin Center, Louisiana
Dolomite, Alabama
Burnt Corn, Alabama

My favorites have to be just off U.S. 78 in Alabama right before you reach the Mississippi line: Guin and Gu-win. There must have been an argument over pronunciation.
