Election years remind me of the picturesque names some US counties have
Bucks County in Pennsylvania, carries a catchet for rusticity
Yell County Arkansas, a primal frontier named with a primal scream (although named after one Archibald Yell).
Jo Daviess: a county in Illinois, or leather-lunged country western chanteuse?
Coconino AZ: too long after discovering Krazy Kat, I learned this is a real place
Does a fucking village count?
I always liked Lac qui Parle county in western Minnesota.
There used to be a Patrick Henry county in Virginia. It was later split in two, as Patrick county and Henry county.
The county was named for Erastus “Deaf” Smith (1787–1837), a partially deaf scout and soldier who served in the Texas Revolution, and was the first to reach the Alamo after its fall in 1836.
Yolo County, California. You only live once!
(Actually “Yolo” is probably a corruption of an indigenous word)
Whatcom. What?
The Cherokee Strip was a name given to an area of land in what is now Oklahoma along the Kansas border. Before this land was opened to settlement, seven counties were created, and were assigned letters for names: Counties K, L, M, N, O, P, and Q. After the land run, all the names of these counties were changed, save one, which is still known as Kay County.
While there’s a lot of French based names in the old Louisiana territory plus some places in the east, those French trappers and such got everywhere.
In Oregon you have two counties with French origins: Deschutes and Malheur. Both are named after rivers whose names origins are “the chutes (waterfalls)” and “unfortunate”.
There’s also a Columbia county named after the river, which originally was the Oregon river. Some say that’s French in origin as well, a corruption of a word for"hurricane". If you spent a winter near the gorge you’d understand.
Tennessee has Cocke County.
That always hits me as the name of a first or second wave tech company, possibly a search engine due to the “what”.
“Bucks” was probably named after the nickname for UK’s “Buckinghamshire” county. Many UK counties have shortened names like that - originally to make it easier when writing addresses on letters. UK County Abbreviations • FamilySearch
In Washington we have Skamania county, which takes its name from a Chinook word for “swift waters” but sounds like a music festival from 1998 headlined by Reel Big Fish, No Doubt, and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
Then in northeast WA there’s Pend D’oreille (pronounced pond-or-ray) county, which is the French word for “earring”.
Transylvania County, North Carolina 
Ohio has 88 counties but most are average sounding names. I do like Auglaize County. Nobody knows what it means.
I grew up in Darke county Ohio. The saying when I was a kid was that there were no darkies in Darke county. Racist but true at the time, a county of 99.9% white people, today it is maybe 95% that way. Its redneck heavan.
Virginia has Dinwiddie county. The name stems from a colonial era lieutenant governor.
Additionally, Virginia has more counties named after women than any other state.
Those were all battles in the Mexican War, so not unlikely names for counties in a state that was admitted to the union in 1846.
Loving County, Texas was named for Oliver Loving of the Goodnight-Loving Trail fame (think Lonesome Dove). It is the only county in Texas to have been created twice - initially in 1887, then dissolved in 1897 due to financial shenanigans by county officials, and re-created in 1931. It is also the least populated county in Texas and all of the U.S.
Nevada has a Eureka County.
