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!
I live in Oakland, but the weirdest city name I’ve seen that comes to mind is Zzyzx, CA. Excellent for that road trip alphabet spying game.

I’m caving under pressure…too excited about the giveaway to think clearly.

MAINE ME!!
I’ve never been there, but there is a town in Michigan called Hell. I lived in a suburb of Detroit and all summer they would compare high temperatures and some days declare Detroit “hotter than Hell” :)

Cheryl says
Maine Me! Not necessarily a city name, but I’m going to go with a road sign here. In Germany, there are ‘Caution Children’ signs where school buses stop or near playgrounds…etc. In German, that’s ‘Achtung Kinder’ and ‘Achtung’ always makes me think of sneeze, even though that’s not at all what it means, so it makes me smile whenever I see one of those signs :).
Teri says
Maine me!!
Melissa says
MAINE ME!
In Texas we have a city named Lovelady. It is aptly named for its claim to fame in the 1800s when it was a railroad town and young men were passing through… if you get the idea.
Allison Leedie says
Maine Me!
I don’t think I’ve ever lived anywhere with a weird name. But I once went to sleep-away camp at Mashmucket State Park.
Ashley says
MAINE ME!!
Oh boy. I LIVE in Maine, so I’ve seen some crazy town names. Kennebunkport’s not even that bad. How about Passadumkeag, Mattawumkeag, Wytipilock… Haha

Maine Me! I’m from Utah and there is a city named Mantua…but everyone pronounces is Man-O-Way?!

MAINE ME!
We live near Boody, Il.

Michelle | When I Grow Up Coach says
Maine Me!
And, of course, the funniest city name that came to mind was when I was living near the Amish in PA back on 1999. We’d drive past Blue Balls & Intercourse, PA all the time…I still giggle.

Heather J. says
Maine Me!
My husband and I are from Western New York. There are a lot of cool Indian names there, like Tonawanda and Cheektowaga. With a long polish name like ours, though, we don’t even bat an eyelash to “weird” names!
Chelsea says
MAINE ME!! I’ve been to a city in Scotland that was ions long with tons of consonants – but I definitely couldn’t repeat it!

I thought it was funny that Blue Ball, PA is near Intercourse, PA.
And I live in Vienna, VA . . . and would rather live in Vienna, Austria :)
Tiffany says
Maine me!!!! I actually thin I may be going to maine in July, I will have to see if I can stop in Pasamaquaddy or Kennebunkport.. ha ha.
I live in Havre de Grace, MD. I have to spell it out for everyone. Super french and super cool. It was up for the nomination to be the nation’s capital at one time, along with Philly and Wash. Washington won obviously, but that is pretty cool eh? It is a darling little quaint town that actually could use a little house love itself! It has such potential!!!!
