A “Delight”ful City for a Story
Am I the only writing nerd who sits around reading lists of city names only to have my imagination run off? I struggle with naming cities in my stories, but considering some of the ones that exist in real life, maybe I don’t need to worry so much 🙂
Here are a few interesting ones I came across while researching for my WIP.
- Delight, Arkansas
- Brilliant, Alabama
- Paradox, Colorado
- Needmore, Florida
- Coffee, Georgia
- Magic, Idaho
- Oblong, Illinois
- Dinwiddle, Indiana
- Moosehead, Maine
- Boring, Maryland
- Whynot, Mississippi
- Opportunity, Montana
- Toast, North Carolina
- Loco, Oklahoma
- Defeated, Tennessee
And of course, some of my favorite Kentucky towns:
- Normal
- Fisty
- Lovely
- Ordinary
- Possom Trot
- Rabbit Hash
- Monkey’s Eyebrow
- Typo
- And many others 🙂
