Some of these are unusual, but pretty IMO.

Some Yupik/Eskimo names sound kind of awkward or ugly in English. Like Nunapitchuk and Tuluksak Alaska. Wishek, North Dakota is a bit harsh sounding a name. Although ugliness is in the eye of the beholder and I'm not sure how to separate ugly sounding from weird sounding myself.

On the flipside Castle Danger, Minnesota may be the best.
