albuquerque, cucamonga, walla walla, etc. (i'm sure there are other threads for rude-sounding names like "intercourse." that's not what this is.)

Pretty much every village in Somerset or Dorset has a stupid and/or convoluted name though, right?

There's a Dave Van Ronk song called "Garden State Stomp" where he just sings the names of New Jersey towns in a serious actorly voice (and sorts for rhymes and meter very well!):

Allamuchy, Hacklebarney, Rockaway, Piscataway
Ho-Ho-Kus, Secaucus, Lower Squankum, Fair Play
Wanamassa, Succasunna, Manumuskin, Plumbsock
BiValve, Buckshutem, Turkey Foot, Macanippock
