Weird City Names
Here's an amusing list of weird city and town names. Of course, I immediately wondered if all these names were real, so I checked a random sample in Mapquest. Nothing came up for Hornytown, North Carolina (a google search didn't turn up any offical website for it either, though there is a widespread report, probably false, that Hornytown has banned massage parlors). Nor was there a Love Ladies, New Jersey in Mapquest. That doesn't mean Hornytown and Love Ladies don't exist. It's just that I can't find them. However, according to Mapquest it would be possible to take a road trip from Intercourse, Pennsylvania to Hooker, Arkansas, with a quick stop in Hot Coffee, Mississippi, and finishing up in Climax, North Carolina. Update: Apparently there is a 'Love Ladies' in New Jersey, but it's spelled all as one word: Loveladies, NJ. However, I've still found no evidence that there's a Hornytown in North Carolina, although there is a Hornyhead Mountain.
Update 2: By randomly typing words into Mapquest it turns out to be quite easy to come up with weird place names. In just a few minutes I came up with these: Shite Creek, Idaho; Trash Branch, Alabama; Weird Lake, Minnesota; and Dork Canal, Oregon.
Listed in chronological order. Newest comments at the end.

I nearly forgot two classic Western Australian suburbs: where would you prefer to live? Upper Swan or Innaloo?

Ever heard about a place called "Nothing" in Arizona? Funny, but it really exists!

Yup, there is, indeed Horneytown, NC. Note that it is spelled with an 'e' between the 'n' and the 'y'.

I live near somewhere called Nempnett Thrubwell. It's not dodgy or anything, but the name amuses me.

The reason I found this site was I googled Hornytown because I saw a picture of a Pierce fire truck (made in Wis) with the name Hornytown on it and wondered were it was. So Hannah I've seen your friend's fire truck.
