Humansville, MO (makes you wonder who else might want to live there!)
Port Royal, KY (in a landlocked state)
Ho Ho Kus, NJ
Intercourse, PA
Organ, NM
Mongo, IN
Bogue Chitto, MS
Chugwater, WY
There is also a Waterloo, Alabama...and I expect more in other states as well.
Little America, WY. Used to be a truck stop...now a small town.
Rugby, TN. Was one of those "utopian societies" in the late 1800's that a bunch of Englishmen tried to set up. Didn't last, but it is an interesting town now with some interesting architecture.
North Carolina: Lizard Lick, Nag's Head, Blowing Rock, Meat Camp, Kill Devil Hills, Duck, Tobaccoville, Hookerton, Pumpkin Center, Bat Cave, Soul City, Seven Devils, Bald Head Island
There are also a number of interesting local pronunciations....
Fayetteville = Fed'vul
Shelbyville = Sheb'vul (amazingly some are able to contract this from 3 syllables to 1, by not even pronouncing the 'b')
Maryville = Mare-ih'vul or Mare'vul (mare, like a female horse, or sometimes murr...shortening it to 2 syllables)
*in fact 'vul is a common pronunciation for any town ending in ville...but not always. Less common with larger cities.
Milan = My-lun
Lafayette = Luh-FAY-et
Pall Mall = Pell Mell
Santa Fe = Santa Fee
There are more...but I've always found these to be the most fun.
