Ding Dong, Cut and Shoot, Uncertain, Oatmeal, Gun Barrel City, Jot-Em-Down, Buda, Bigfoot, Iraan, Tarzan, Notrees, Kermit, Dime Box, Bug Tussle, Cool, White Settlement, Quitaque, Blessing, Frognot, Muleshoe, Balmorhea, Elmo, and Ben Wheeler are all towns/cities in Texas, and they're not the only weird names here.

We also have a town named Nameless. It's got an interesting, if sad, reason behind the name. Nameless was founded in 1880 by interracial families, including freed slaves and Irish immigrants. Back then, the custom for a newly established town was to send the name the townspeople chose to the post office to be officially recognized.

The people submitted at least 187 names, but every single one was rejected, because officials refused to recognize a town of interracial couples due to their racism. When they'd had enough of that, the people said "then shall this town forever remain nameless, and shall be damned!", and called the town Nameless out of desperation and spite.

I like Intercourse, PA and Cocksackie, NY better (2nd one might be spelled differently but I think it's at least pronounced that way). And then there's a town in the UK called Penistone, which Jeremy Clarkson made fun of on Top Gear

It's a weird town. It's a middle of nowhere town, and they put a big resort there. Nice place to go if you want a mini, low-key vacation and live in the area.

That's because they had the springs there which brought a lot of people down. Plus the Chicago Prohibition gangsters would come down on the direct train line for vacations and to talk business,
