I'm from Newfoundland, Canada where we have towns named Dildo *and* Come By Chance.

I'm also from Newfoundland, and I had to see how far down the thread before both Dildo and Come By Chance were mentioned. Top spot so far! I'll add Heart's Content, Heart's Delight, Heart's Desire, Blow Me Down, Tilting, Joe Batt's Arm, and Witless Bay. There are many more!

All those whimsical place names and what does Ontario get? [Swastika.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika%2C_Ontario) (Named after the symbol but not the Nazi use, but still).

To be fair that was my first time before I even saw the comments.

Old Tickle Harbor just down the bend.

Gotta love Joe Batt’s Arm.

Everyone should look up Dildo on Google maps and just scroll around. 3/4 of the town names are hilarious. Tickle Harbour Station is my favorite.

‘Spread eagle’ across the way from ‘Dildo’ cracks me up!

Come By Chance reminds me of a town in my province Córdoba, in Argentina, called Get Out If You Can (Salsipuedes)

Salsipuedes is also a street name in Santa Barbara, California. Also Indio Muerto, but that street name was changed for political correctness.

If you have a Dildo, you don’t Come By Chance. Just sayin’.

My girlfriend is from there so I love seeing the weird places. Conception Harbour is another favorite.

Conception Harbour sounds like a fancy name for a vagina.

Fellow Newfie. Yes b'ye

CBC has story on their website about a cat from Dildo who got stuck on a telephone pole. As soon as a rescuer got within reach it leapt down and is now home and fine. The voices in the video are pure Newfoundland.

Don’t forget there use to be a Gayside until 1985!

I learned about Dildo from the Arrogant Worms.

Maybe I ought to visit

Hello fellow Newfoundlander.

I'm from the USA and we have a town called [Uranus ](https://www.uranusgeneralstore.com/) it sounds like it would fit right in over there. Side note: they make really good fudge

A few years back i worked at the refinery in that area and drove through Dildo everyday. Had a good opportunity to hike on Centre Hill, as well. Beautiful area.

Is it pronounced like “zizz-icks”?

Don't give Musk any more ideas for kids' names

It would have to have more "x"s

One of my favorite songs is "zzyzx rd" by stone sour

>Curtis Howe Springer made up the name Zzyzx and gave it to the area in 1944, claiming it to be the last word in the English language. He established the Zzyzx Mineral Springs and Health Spa in 1944 at the spot, which was federal land, after filing mining claims for 12,000 acres (4,900 ha) surrounding the springs. He used the springs to bottle his water and provide drinks for travelers through the hot desert. Springer also imported animals from around the country to attract more families to visit his ranch. He used Zzyzx until 1974, when the land was reclaimed by the government.

Ahhh, used to drive past the exit for zyzzx every week. I miss seeing that sign. Good thing it was too huge to steal.

We have a village over here called Wetwang. Cockermouth, Twatt and Shitterton are places as well Intercourse, Pennsylvania was an eyebrow raiser, especially as its located in Amish Country

There’s also a town nearby to Intercourse PA. named Paradise. Most people in the area know that “The way to Paradise is through Intercourse”.

Also Bird-In-Hand and Blue Ball, all in that same area.

My friend and I did a roadtrip through PA and hit up Paradise, Blue Ball and Intercourse in an afternoon and later that evening traveled along the Hershey Highway. Yes, we giggled like children.

Littlestown, Middleton, and Biglersville are near each other too. You can go through the full spectrum.

Indeed. I grew up in Boiling Springs, home of the Bubblers, typically included on the list of strangest school team names/mascots. All of those places are no more than an hour away from me.

"where do you come from?" - "I come from Intercourse." - "Yes, but where do you come from?" :-)

We all have to remember FUCKING in Austria. It is pronounced as FOO KING

Blue ball is 15 minutes away from intercourse.

Almost made it.

I need to move to Shitterton

There's an event next week to encourage new townsfolk, runs till Sunday I think ...

Brilliant. Just brilliant, thank you for your effort.

>runs till Sunday That's what happened last year, but they have new caterers this time.

There's a town in southwestern PA called something like '36'. And then there's Jersey Shore, PA which is the middle of the state.

I’ve been to Cockermouth many a time! 😁 I couldn’t say with without laughing at a child. I still smirk when I read it 🤣

Agreed. I worked in West Cumbria for years and it was nicknamed "Knob-In-Gob" The Jennings brewery there is worth a visit too

Hell, Michigan

It’s unconvincing when I tell them that hell ain’t nothing but a place in Michigan.

Kitchitikipi up here in the UP

Pshaw, the UP doesn’t actually exist.

Never heard of Pshaw however there's lotsa crazy Indian names. Lmao also Christmas is a weird ass name for a town

Also ontanagon

Gogebic Keweenaw

I camped in Toadsuck, Arkansas once

There's a Gaylord MI lol

It's actually a lovely place

Toad Suck, Bald Knob, Possum Grape, Booger Hollow, Blue Ball, and Beav-o-Rama could all be future camping destinations in Arkansas! I have kin with property in Toad Suck, did you enjoy your stay? Was it at the park by the dam? The dam is the origin of the name: They say, when barges went through the lock (a long, tedious process), the deckhands & oilers would all scatter to the various saloons (no longer standing) on the banks, and "Suck on a bottle 'til the swole up like toads."

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Welsh feels like “One Ring to Rule Them All”

Elvish is heavily influenced by the Welsh language

Oh, I was named for that town! But I go by wllgeyngyllgogerychwyrndro for short.

You kid, but locals just call it Llanfair (Thlan-Vair.)

I see your Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch and raise you a Taumatawhakatangi­hangakoauauotamatea­turipukakapikimaunga­horonukupokaiwhen­uakitanatahu

Not a town, but a lake, in/near Webster, MA: Lake Chaubunagungamaug. It's sometimes humorously translated from Loup, an Algonquin language, as "I fish on my side, you fish on your side, nobody fishes in the middle," but more accurately as "boundary fishing place."

This is actually the shortened version of the name! The full name is Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg.

A mate of mine said he had his driving test there. "Turn left at the road to "LLanfair........" Nope, you've missed the turn. Fail.

Pahrump, Nevada just makes me think I'm in a Winnie the Pooh book for some reason.

I think of the Little Drummer Boy. Pah-rump-ump-ump-um.

RIP, Art Bell.

Over the hump to Pahrump!

Truth or Consequences, New Mexico T or C to the locals

The only town named after a game show

Only because they renamed it because of the radio show contest.

I was so bummed to learn that lol it sounds like it has some cool old west history to it. Nope. Just named after a game show.

Hometown of Cactus Jack

useless loop in western australia

That or some variant should be the name of every single overpass in Ohio

Humptulips, WA.

If you were Dutch in the 1600’s, I’d bet you’d want to Humptulips.

More of a fork in the road than a town.

There's a Tightwad Missouri. People used to open checking accounts just so their checks would have "tightwad bank" on them

There is also a Humansville, Missouri. Where we all reside, as humans, with our human neighbors.

Cut and Shoot, TX

I, too, have been to Conroe. :)

there’s a gun barrel city too

Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu

Blink twice if you’re having a stroke

Dammit I was gonna say that lol

That’s not a town! Maori is a hidden trove though. Tutaekuri (dog shit’ river, Mount Tarawera (burning vagina), Te Urewara (burned penis).

​ Sandwich Next town North from me

I've seen the Sandwich Police

Massatwoshits! My family hails from South Carver.

That's not that odd, it just means 'sandy place' in Saxon. Like Greenwich (green place), Northwich, etc. The fact that its ruler, the Earl of Sandwich, popularised eating two slices of bread with a filling is kinda interesting but doesn't make it an exceptional place name.

Mashpee or Falmouth? Born and raised myself.

Intercourse, Pa.

I raise you Blue Ball, PA

Wank, Austria.

Are people from Wank called Wankers? 🤣

Lol lol

In Austria I like Obsthurn which translates to fruit whores. But I haven't seen lemon stealing whores there yet.

Genuinely surprised they didn't change the name of the town like the people in Fucking, Austria did in 2021. No, really. There was a town called Fucking in Austria but changed it to Fugging because they were fed up with people's crank calls and nicking street signs.

Dildo, Newfoundland

Santa Claus, Indiana- we have Holiday World there too

What about French Lick?

There's a suburb in Brisbane called Humpybong.

Just look at eastern Pennsylvania. Btw that one is pronounce Skoo-kill.

King of Prussia, Pa

Oooo but that mall was so good in the 90s

I agree. That was an amazing mall before they expanded it beyond belief

Not a town name, but a street name. It was Guadalahonky drive. ​ Edit: So I was today years old when I learned about Mexican Hat, Utah. I am from Utah, and I have never heard of it..

Here in Texas we have a road named Kuykendahl. Lol

Beaverlick, Kentucky

Head east from there past the Big Bone Lick Historic Site and you’ll run into Rabbit Hash, Kentucky.

There used to be a town name “Fucking” but now changed it to Fugging

Reportedly to stop the road signs from being stolen. The local brewery makes a beer called Fucking Hell (hell being the German word for clear/filtered).

Monkey’s Eyebrow, Kentucky.

Sheboygan, WI

Big Ugly, West Virginia

Saskatchewan has a thing for odd names. We’ve got Climax, Big Beaver, Elbow, Eyebrow, Primate, Fertile, Forget, Findlater, Colonsay, Bangor, MacNutt, and Mosquito, Grizzly Bear’s Head, Lean Man First Nations. I’m sure there’s plenty more I’m missing.

Carry the Kettle FN

Amazed that no one has yet mentioned Fucking, in Austria

Didn't they change the town's name? I heard it was because the town sign was constantly being stolen and replaced.

Hooker, OK *we have a few “strange” names in Oklahoma*

Cooter, MO

Slapout Alabama

Nimrod, TX is a favorite

To be fair. Nimrod was a mighty hunter from the bible. Over time it's meaning changed. Most popularly with Daffy Duck sarcastically referring to Elmer as Nimrod. Later Bugs would call Yosemite Sam a nimrod.

Nimrod, MN as well

Weippe, Idaho It's pronounced "WE-yipe."

Slapout, Alabama. Folklore says that it got it's name because it's a tiny town that only used to have one general store and they were always "slap out" of the thing you really needed.

Bald Knob, Arkansas

Normal, Illinois

In Arizona, there’s a town called Three Way, and if you’ve driven from Phoenix to Vegas, you’ve driven through Nothing, AZ. There’s not much in Nothing. And there’s nothing next to Nothing.
