There is a town called Hell on Grand Cayman Island. Its a pretty cool little sleepy town. There is this area that helped the town get its name- its lava field.
I’ll have you know, I’ve BEEN to Toadsuck, Arkansas. It was the site for the Pitts Family reunion. It was hot as hades.
I’ve also been to Intercourse, Pennsylvania.
There’s a Pawpaw, IL.
And let’s not forget …

Cheesequake, NJ. :dubious:
Cheesequake–that’s funny!
In North Carolina, there’s a town called Lizard Lick. I really don’t want to know how it got that name. But I really want a “Lizard Lick” t-shirt!

There is an Elephant Butte in NM. (Yeah, it’s pronounced Elephant Bewt, but people jokingly call it Elephant Butt.)
There used to be a small mining town out here called Swastika–the swastika was once a good luck symbol in the Southwest. The silver vein ran out and the town dried up and blew away in the early 30’s; if it had survived past WWII I wonder if it would have kept the name Swastika.
There is a Humptydoo in Northern Territories, Australia, which I have always been fond of.
Also, whilst driving around Wales, there was a town that we could only pronounce as Bleurgh, but I’m sure it’s not pronounced like that. Are there any Welshians who can enlighten me of the real place name and how to say it?
Other Australian towns include Five Ways, *The Spit * and… wait for it…
*Hat Head *
Historic Lumber Town…and other cash crops as well!
There is also Weedpatch California
Or the town Paradise Ca was formerly named Pair-O-Dice.
Or perhaps you perfer a French Lick
Harold Lloyd Jenkins was on his way to being a famous singer, but had to come up with a stage name. He got out a map and pointed to two towns; Conway, AR and Twitty, TX and from then on was known as Conway Twitty.
I was driving across Arkansas and as I came to my turn-off I noticed the sign had two towns on it; Conway and Toads Suck. It was then that I realized how close he came to being Toads Suck Twitty. 
My contribution is Dime Box, TX & nearby Old Dime Box, TX. When looking these up on Mapblast I also noticed there is a Dimple, TX.
How about Malacca (alt. Melaka) in Malaysia.
…which sounds a lot like a derrogatory phrase in Greek.
I’m sure a Greek poster will be able assist on the actual meaning. (Please).
Canadian dopers: are these places for real?How on earth were they named?
I remember them from a Carl Sandberg poem:
“Moose Jaw and Medicine Hat are rather flat”… 
A quick google has given some interesting local places:
Feltwell
Salter’s Lode
Six Mile Bottom
Fingringhoe
Shaftenhoe End
Dancing Dicks, right next to Whitelands.
Yes, they’re both real. According to this page, the Cree word Moosegaw, which means “warm breezes”, morphed into Moose Jaw. As for Medicine Hat, the Cree are again a factor. From this site:
Has anyone mentioned TWATT in Shetland, the bit of the UK so far north they can’t fit it into weather forecast maps?
Hey, quit copying us! We have both of those in Saskatchewan too - along with an Elbow, an Eyebrow, Love, Livelong, Smuts and the infamous Biggar (slogan: New York is big, but we’re Biggar! Hardy har har.)
And I was forty kilometres from the aforementioned Moose Jaw this afternoon, so I can attest to its existence.
Anyone fancy climbing Great Cockup?
Hey - I’m going to French Lick in October, Rick!
We have some other good ones in Indiana. For instance: Peru (often pronounced PEE-roo) and Kokomo are ~20 miles apart, but Mexico is only 6 miles north of Peru.
I bet you didn’t know that Hell is in Michigan. Last winter, a picture appeared on the 'net showing its sign frozen over
