I am American but I don't think my town name, Landrum, is strange. I have one though--Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.

Also, I am very familiar with Sopchoppy. I lived close to the Sopchoppy river. Lots of fun to be had there.

I'm a fan of such names, but we run a danger of repeating a lot of the same names as discussed in the Very Odd Place Names post. There does seem to be a never-ending supply, however. Starting with Alabama, I nominate Burnt Corn and Eclectic.

I think the funniest one I ever came across was when touring California in 1980 - if my memory serves me correctly the name of the town was "Rough and Ready"

Two Egg, FL, King of Prussia and Bala Cynwyd in PA.
PA seems to have the most bizarre names of all the states.

Ooops, sorry, Chicken Bristle is in Kentucky, not Tennessee. Don't want to pass on false information.

Old Mystic and Sandy Hook, both in Connecticut; Bear, Red Lion, and Blackbird, all in Delaware; Weeki Wachee and Intercession City, both in Florida; The Rock and Experiment, both in Georgia; Riddle and Chilly, both in Idaho. It's not a town, but I found the Murderkill River in Delaware to be weird...

Had a road named Upthecreek in FL, and a family whose last name it came from. Hartford, CT has Asylum Ave and Sigourney St. I've seen some odder names, but cannot mention them here.
