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 🙂

What are some interesting town names near you?
