In a discussion with @J.B. Cobb III about a different subject the names of towns in close proximity came up that could probably go for a change. What you got? This is in the next county over. KY is full of poorly named cities/towns. 
Town names that make you giggle.
Haha.
I’ve been through there or at least seen the sign driving through there.

Ding Dong, Dumas, and Kermit always come up with texas towns.
Also west texas towns around Lubbock always cracked me up with how boring, but accurate their names were.
Shallowater, Levelland, brownfield, plainview, post, etc

Flippin, Arkansas was good for a chuckle. They had a Flippin Church of Christ, Flippin bank, etc.

I lived my formative years in Niceville, FL. Worked at a hotel on the beach a couple of summers in high school and whenever a guest would ask me where I am from and I said Niceville, thes response was always "I love Nashville". Lol
