Most people would mention Intercourse, PA as the strangest name for a city.

I personally like Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. I drove through it a few years back and had lunch in the sleepy desert town. The name brings to mind the old west history and lore.

It's a hoot!

It really depends on what you mean by "strange." I think a lot of cities in Alaska could be seen as strange (meaning, not your ordinary English name, European head-of-state, or European city). There's Ketchikan, Talkeetna, Nunapitchuk, Soldotna, Shaktoolik and tons more. Other Native American-derived names in other states can certainly qualify as "strangest" if one isn't familiar with Native American languages.

Then there's Hell, Arizona; Hell, California; and Hell, Michigan. I find it strange to name a city "Hell," as most cities are named after beloved places or famous people. Not to mention, you can refer to a city "lovingly" as Hell, but once that's its official name, you can bet no one's going to want to come out there. It kind of kills all business, except novelty tourism. Then again, perhaps it's like the Welsh town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, which created the longest name on purpose to draw in more business.

I would say the weirdest I've seen in my home state of Texas is Cut-N-Shoot, Texas. Here's some more odd names I have found...

Hoop And Holler, Texas
Ding Dong, Texas
Old Dime Box, Texas
Earth, Texas
Noodle, Texas
Happy, Texas
Smiley, Texas
