It’s a shame we can’t take any major road trips right now (thanks to our wee one) since this week’s giveaway has us itching to head north to Kennebunkport, Maine. That’s because Spaces Kennebunkport– the shop behind today’s prize- embodies just the type of comfortable seaside home accents that Sherry and I love. Never mind that we can barely spell the name… we still want to eat up everything in their store. Have no fear if you also can’t make it out to K-town. Spaces Kennebunkport has an awesome

Maine me!
Hmmmm. I don’t think I have ever been some where with a great name. I’m from a place called Maple Grove and when I was growing up people always asked if it was where Little House on the Prairie took place… Nope it was just a regular suburb.
Lo says
MAINE ME!
Boring, Oregon. ha!
shelly p. says
“Maine Me!” Haven’t lived anywhere with an unusual name, but in college I went up to Kennebunkport and loved it. So beautiful!
Sarah says
MAINE ME!
Walla Walla, Washington.
Courtney McIlwain says
Maine Me.
Lauren says
Maine Me!!
My home town’s name isn’t very interesting (South Amboy, NJ), but the fact that we were in the Guiness Book of World Records at one point for the “Most Bars in 1 square mile” is pretty interesting I think!
Emily says
Maine Me!
I drove through Non, Oklahoma
Jennifer says
Maine ME!!!
I have lived in two cities that, although quite well known, no one seems to know how to spell: Tucson (mispronounced Tuck-son or spelled Tuson) and Albuquerque (always misspelled). Some fun towns I’ve driven through: Strawberry, AZ; Bumblebee, AZ; Nutt, NM; and Elephant Butte, NM. Funny and cute!
Tiffany B. says
MAINE ME!
Jessie (Vegan-minded) says
MAINE ME! I don’t live in a place with a funny name, although Boca Raton is close enough. The literal translation is “rat’s mouth”. :)
Laura says
MAINE ME!
I can’t think of any uniquely named cities that I’ve been to, all I can think of it there is a street names “Hurlbutt Ave” in the town next to mine. Haha!
Valerie Skinner says
Maine Me! We live in Texas and certainly have enjoyed time in Paris, TX, Italy, TX, and Rhome, TX!
Lisa in Seattle says
MAINE ME!
Washington place names aren’t all that funny (except maybe Walla Walla) but it’s a hoot to hear visitors try to pronounce places like Puyallup.
Chelsea says
Maine me! I grew up in a city called Green but our school colors were orange and black.
Kara S. says
MAINE ME!
I grew up in Independence, KY. Not necessarily a funny name, but pretty meaningful on Memorial Day and Fourth of July!
Alison says
MAINE ME!
Anna says
MAINE ME!
My husband I were married in Hope, Alaska – which we always figured was a great name and fitting for the occasion.

Nicole Carroll says
Maine me!
Kind of an odd named place… I used to live near a town called “Bodycamp, Va”.
Emily W says
MAINE ME!
We always chuckle a bit at Hell, MI. They have a 5K there where you get a shirt that says something to the effect of “you ran through Hell.”
Alexa F. says
MAINE ME!
I’ve heard of Weedpatch, CA. Never been, but it’d be fun to take a photo of a town sign!
Tracey Coldewey says
MAINE ME! There is a town southwest of Chicago called “Hodgkins, IL”.
Molly says
MAINE ME!
I spent two summers out in Washington, but being from Virginia (holla), I was confused on the pronunciation of many places. Puyallup (Pew-all-up) always sounded like Pull-y’all-up in my head! Much to the disdain of the locals…
Katie says
Oh please, please, please Maine ME!!

Kiran says
MAINE ME!
I grew up in Québec, Canada and that province sure has it’s share of “unique” names. I remember as a kid driving to Abitibi-Témiscamingue (pronounced Abi-ti-bi-tay-miss-ka-man-gue) to visit friends or going up to the cottage in Memphrémagog (pronounced Mum-ph-may-gog).
Denise says
Maine Me!!!!
I’m from a town called Dededo. A little place on the island of Guam. :)
Steff says
MAIN ME!!!!
No Name, Co
I drive by it on my way to Moab, UT every year from Denver. If you Google it this is what you find out about it-
No Name is an unincorporated community in Colorado. It is located east of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, off exit 119 of Interstate 70 in Glenwood Canyon. It is named for No Name Creek and No Name Canyon. The No Name Tunnel of I-70 is nearby. Happy Memorial Day!!
Shelley Cook says
Maine Me! Oh, and Don’t miss Bumpass, VA. :)
Lin says
MAINE ME! Please, because I REALLY need lamps. REALLY. Bonus: I live in KY, and we have some pretty unusual town names. My aunt was from a place called “Hell for Certain”. Although, it’s not really a town, more of a hollow.

Always wanted to go to Maine! I grew up in Michigan, and we have some strange names, as attested by Emily W!
Saugatuck, Manistee, Mackinac Island (pronounced mack-i-naw) just to name a few…
But the weirdest I’ve driven through is Thumbs, West Virginia.

There’s a town called Dixiana we’ve driven through several times…I guess it’s not too strange since we’re in South Carolina.
