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

Well, my nickname is Maine-o, so I’d love to win this. As far as funny/unique city names go… my friend just invited me to her out-of-town weddding and its taking place in Beaver Township, OH.
Kristin says
MAINE ME!
How about… Kissimmee, FL; Cumming, GA (can we talk about how mature I am?); or Butts, GA? :)
Sara K says
Maine Me!!
We travel through Short Pump Virginia on our way to the Outer Banks each summer. For some reason we always get a laugh out of this town’s name!!
Kylie says
MAINE ME!!!
I have driven through Peculiar, Missouri. That’s an odd one…
Robyn in Chicago says
MAINE ME!
We totally went to Kennebunkport on our honeymoon. I know, it’s not the traditional “beachy” honeymoon. We wanted a New England getaway (it was fall and we wanted a red wine and sweaters) and Kennebunkport was on our list. We loved it there!
Caitlin says

MAINE ME!
i can’t think of any city names but on the interstate in AZ you will see weird markers for places like “dead man’s ditch” “bloody basin” and “table mesa” (the last one is quite redundant, huh!)
Melis says
Maine Me!
In NH, where I grew up, there is town called Hell Hollow. Spooky! :)
melanie c says
MAINE ME!
I live in Hoboken, NJ which is the word my friend from California uses instead of Timbuktu. She couldn’t believe I was actually moving there! Also nearby is Hohokus. Just sounds funny :-)

Lauren says
MAINE ME!
We just got back from vacationing in the Caribbean and on the Cayman Islands there is a town called Hell. Lots of funny touristy things to get there and even a post office just so you could send out letters from Hell.
Molly says
Maine Me!
If you want to get into pronunciation, I’m from New England and we have more than our share of oddly spoken town names. However, one of my favorite examples is Regina, Saskatchewan. Not spoken like the woman’s name, but like her…
Jeni P says
“MAINE ME!” and I’ve lived most of my life near Climax…North Carolina. :)
Randa says
Maine me!
I’ve often wondered whose idea it was to name a city in Michigan “Hell”!
Hollis says

Erin says
MAINE ME!
There is a town in my home state called Plain City, UT.

Michigan has a city named Hell. I’ve never been, but it can’t be THAT bad.

MAINE ME!
I loved living near Hell, Michigan….
Jonathan says
Maine me!
My wife and I visited Hawaii last year and loved the names of places there! King Kamehameha Highway, for example. Mt. Waialeale for another (pronounced Why-ah-lee-ah-lee). Gotta love that they only have 12 consonants in their alphabet, so names turn out so cool.
Adriana P says
MAINE ME.
I used to live in Walla Walla, WA. It’s Native American for “place of many waters”.
Iris says
MAINE ME!
Julie says
Maine Me!
I used to live in a town called Distant, PA while I was in college. The only thing it had was a post office….and we all had p.o. boxes, no mail delivery!

Adriene S. says
MAINE ME!
Haven’t driven through any weird towns, but I think Opp, AL and Elba, AL, sound a little weird.
