This isn't a city or town, it's exits on I-80 as you go through Wyoming. It seems that the State planners run out of ideas. As you transit West you'll find exit x. Then xy. Then xyz. These are names of roads that the exit goes to. XXyz. XXXYYZZ. and so on. I get a chuckle every time I transit through that area.

I think this happened in my hometown. We have streets like "Pine Street Lane" and "Miller Street Road".
Arkansas has towns with names like Booger Hollow, Flippin, Hogeye, Greasy Corner, and Yellville. And we mustn’t forget Toad Suck. And Ink (Here’s a quote: Local tradition says that a Polk County school teacher sent out notes to patrons requesting possible names for their new post office. Fearing penciled entries might be difficult to read, she requested that they please "write in ink." Many did...and Ink was the winner).

Reason: spelling
Hi, One I no very well is Ypsilanti Michigan. Do you know of any weird names of cities? Please post a link to the city.
Here's the Wikipedia page for Ypsilanti, in case anyone's interested. I used to rent an apartment in Ypsilanti, which is the home of Eastern Michigan University and the neighbor to Ann Arbor (and the University of Michigan).
For some reason the area's settlers named it after a Greek general, Demetrius Ypsilanti. Ypsilanti is also where Domino's Pizza was founded (I think).
