Hmm I get a kick out of Ochopee FL I'm sure it means something in a Native American language

Jupiter and Juno FL, right next to each other.

Umatilla FL is named after Umatilla OR

Delray Bch FL is named after a neighborhood or suburb of Detroit called Del Ray.

Dr Phillips, FL

Howey-in-the Hills FL , Niceville, Homosassa FL

Christmas, FL and Frostproof, FL

I think there's a Town and Country, FL as well.

In Washington state, you'd have a field day:
Puyallup, Nisqually, Snohomish, Tacoma, Tahoma, Seattle, Duwamish, Chehalis, Sequim, Skagit, Tukwila, Issaquah, Spanaway.

California has a few:
Siskyou, Chowchilla, Jamacha (not a city but only San Diego locals ever seem to pronounce it right), Tehachapi, Orinda, Cuyamaca, Kumeyaay, Ewiiaapaayp

Phoenix?? Haha

Some other towns in Arizona: Ajo, Bagdad, Bear, Bisbee, Buckeye, Chinle, Chloride, Globe, Huachuca City, Kayenta, Mammoth, Oracle, Patagonia, Picacho, Quartzsite, Saddlebrooke, Sahuarita, Scenic, Sells, Snowflake, Strawberry, Sunizona, Tombstone, Tsaile, Tubac, Why, Yuma...

There are some that I didn't list that are on the Navajo Nation. But it doesn't get more unique than that.

I've heard of that. For years, I didn't think it was an actual real place.

Pigeon Forge (forget what state. Named for the millions of now extinct Passenger Pigeons). Kill Devil Hills (again forget the state and too lazy to look it up).
