They Named It What?!!!

Shakespeare posed the question: "What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Perhaps in many cases, but not all. If where you are raised has something to do with your destiny--and some people believe it does--then there are some places in the US that I'd rather not have deciding that destiny. To say the least, the place names are strange, or maybe weird or just plain nuts, in some cases.

Herewith some of those strange city names. I know they are real places, but why would anyone name a city like these?
