Some people go to certain cities or towns because they heard something good about the local food, the scenery, the attractions, or some other reason that dragged them in. Some places draw someone in because they sound like a lovely place to visit, like Paradise Island in the Bahamas, or the city of angels, Los Angeles, California.
Others may be drawn to places just to be able to snap a picture with the town's welcome sign because the town has a unique name. We can't say what people were thinking when they decided to name their towns, but here is a list of cities and towns around the world with names that are a little surprising.
Some of these town names may sound like something made up by a cheeky middle school kid, but all of these places are real. If you don't plan on visiting one of these places, at least have a laugh about these ridiculous names.
