Not major cities, but...
Accident, MD (more funny than ugly)
Intercourse, PA
Blue Ball, PA
Scaggsville, MD - this one gets my vote as the ugliest city (town) name!!

These are the best! I lived in Texas for 3 years and never heard of Ding Dong.
Truth or Consequences, AZ, is just plain ridiculous.

Truth or Consequences, AZ?
I know of a Truth or Consequences, NM haha, and its often called T or C
they re-named the town that from Hot Springs, NM.. the reason was the game show Truth or Consequences said they would re-locate to any city if they re-named the city after the show..

Y'know, I paused with an "Arizona-or-New Mexico?" moment, and then I had to go and make the wrong choice. Thanks for the correction.
