    There is a "cumming" in Ga. That always makes me laugh.
    Texas had a "white settlement" I never went there, but wish they'd just change it to "settlement"


    Add your own!

    Back in 2005, some city leaders tried to change the name to West Settlement...it went to a vote and lost. I forget the ratio but it was like 2400 to 200.

    We have a Cumming in Iowa.


    Therefore we have such epic koozies and tshirts from the bar there that say "I <3 Cumming" :drinker:

    Haha! That is frickin hilarious!

    Going there was on the bucket list of things to do when my friends and I were in school down there, but we never made it!

    There is a limited company in the UK called Wayne Kerr Electronics Ltd. I have also come across a company director named Mike Hunt before.

    Ooo, also in the UK, you have Ed Balls.

    And, at the college I go to, we have a Dr. Doom.

    By far, my favorite place name is Termonfeckin in Ireland. Mainly because I just love the feck. Laugh every time I see the town name.

    Oh Australia is awesome for this. Suburbs in my home city: Inaloo, C*ckburn, Munster. Not filthy, but just ridiculous sounding: Manjimup, Wooloomoloo, Mundijong. Terry Pratchett wonderfully made fun of us by calling two towns "Bugerup" and "Didjabringabeeralong".

    Wonderful businesses: IFAP. You don't spend enough time on the internet if you don't find that funny.

    Also: Schindler's Lifts. They make elevators. I laughed like crazy when I first found their logo inside one.
