Say, Bert, it's interesting you didn't mention that Pennsylvania has a reputation for interesting place names, especially in the Pennsylvania Dutch Country. My favorite is Bird-in-Hand.
I guess we get used to place names in our own area and don't think of them as unusual. Northern California, where I live, has lots of colorful place names - the Gold Rush towns have especially interesting names. "Rough and Ready" is my favorite.
