My favorite New Jersey town name is Ong's Hat. The name also makes a good expletive, along the lines of Good Grief or Christ Almighty! I mentioned this in a thread years ago, but I'll do it again. There are some place names that are just satisfying to say, and I repeat them when I'm in a traffic jam, just because they make me smile. Here goes: Woonsocket, Moonachie, Hackensack, Ho-ho-cus, Snohomish, Speonk, Squankum, Ong's Hat, Nether Wallop, Moose Factory, Titicaca, Tegucigalpa, and this piece of poetry: Nantahala, Walla Walla, Shinecock, Matinicock, Saugatuck, Naugatuck, Wawa, Mahwah. There's a Slaughter Beach in Delaware. I hope Slaughter is someones last name in this case.
