Never mind that we can barely spell the name… we still want to eat up everything in their store. Have no fear if you also can’t make it out to K-town. Spaces Kennebunkport has an awesome

Maine Me!!!
I love Maine-my fiance and I had the opportunity to go white water rafting in Kennebec, Maine. There is also a small town near my home called Welcome, Minnesota. What an inviting place to live! :)

MAINE ME!

MAINE ME!
Valentine, VA … my grandparents go there the week before Valentine’s day to mail me and my cousins cards from there so the stamp across the top of the envelope reads “Valentine, VA” :)
Emily says
MAINE ME!
I grew up there and miss it.
Christine says
MAINE ME!
my boyfriend works in a town near us called Hicksville, NY. People from out of state never believe us but yes it is real. I think Billy Joel is from there!
Becki Franklin says
MAINE ME…please! I was born just outside of Kennebunkport in a town called Kennebunk- so that is definitely the most oddly named town I have ever lived in! As far as towns I have come across- when driving across PA we always drive by a town named Eighty Four. Crazy, huh?
joy says
MAINE ME!!!
I’ve never really lived in a unique named town unfortunately though lots of people mispronounce the name of the down I grew up in and it’s definitely funny listening to how they say “Laupahoehoe.”
Courtney says
MAINE ME!
I’m from Sarnia, ON, which isn’t that funny, but it does allow for a lot of Narnia jokes!
Chrissy says
MAINE ME!
Misty says
Maine ME! I’m actually from Maine, and Kennebunkport is right along the ride to my mom’s house. Such a great quaint town! I don’t find the name too unusual since I grew up around it. Now Zzyzx, CA… that’s a weird name! It’s along the way when driving from LA to Vegas. My favorite ever. :)
(PS… I’m cracking up cause “Maine ME” to me looks like “Maine Maine!”)

MAINE ME!
I grew up in Oklahoma and always thought Happyland sounds like a great place to live.
Hilary says
MAINE ME!
Thanks for the chance to win!
RD Shugart says
MAINE ME!!
My brothers used to collect pennants from cities where we traveled. I remember the day we got one from Intercourse, PA, just because we could. (giggle!)
BTW, I love that ampersand pillow!
Sarah Summers says
Maine Me! oh and Dumas, OK LOL!
Aria says
MAINE ME!
I live in a very usual place, but the first thought that popped into my head was driving through northwest Texas on a road trip… I wish I could remember which oddly-named tiny town we were in. There were no real landmarks to speak of, not even any name-brand gas stations. But right there prominently on Main St. was “Rod’s Office”. We still joke about what sort of business Rod might be in.
There is a town in Scotland that we wanted to visit because of our namesake but were unable to since it is nowhere near anything… Kilpatrick. Now how do you think that town (and people) wound up with that name?
Denise says
“MAINE ME!” There is a Mianus, CT I have heard of. haha
Kerri says
I can’t enter in this contest because I live in Canada, but I went to Newfoundland, a province in Canada, three years ago, and they have some of the most interesting names I’ve ever seen….
Heart’s Content, Conception Bay, Witless Bay, Goobies, Blow Me Down, Come by Chance, to name a few.
Marjorie says
Maine Me!

MAINE ME!
North Carolina has some pretty great town names, but my favorite has got to be Lizard’s Lick.
Emily W. says
Maine me!!
Texas has some odd ones. Driving through Texarkana (on the border of Texas and Arkansas, of course) always makes me laugh.
julie says
Maine me! bowie, md. people not from here always say it like david bowie but it sounds like the floating device, buoy
Sharif says
MAINE ME!
Erin B. says
MAINE ME!
Love the shop!
Krista B. says
MAINE ME!
Paw Paw, IL….not extremely weird, but it’s what my cousins and I call my grandpa, so we always thought that sign was great when we passed it!
Lisa says
MAIN ME- & “big ugly” WV :)
Audrey says
Maine Me!
Pretty much every town in Kentucky has a funny name! HAHA! Just kidding!
Gina says
Maine me!
Cheryl says
MAINE ME!” since we live in Idaho, I think our strangest name of a city is Beer Bottle Crossing, Idaho. I’ve never thought much about the meaning of the name but it’s near some beautiful wilderness areas.

“Maine Me”
I loooove these accent pieces, so unique and cool! Thanks for sharing their website, I’ve love to win that gift card! I don’t live a town with a funny name but I used to work for a wholesale company and we would ship to Climax, PA. That got a few laughs in the office.
Mandy says
MAINE ME!
I grew up in NC and there is a town in the Triad called “Welcome”. Their sign says “Welcome to Welcome”!
Sarah says
“MAINE ME”
Can’t think of any strange names at the moment . . .

Laurie says
MAINE ME!
Wow I haven’t been to kennebunk since I was little, my family moved inland a bit but I have fond memories of the slanted roof an dormers in the old house. Also the sand dollars!
It’s >12 hr drive up from NY but I wouldn’t miss it!
Leslie says
MAINE ME!
I live in Tehachapi, CA. Everytime someone wants confirm an address, I get to listen to them try to pronounce the name…I chuckle.
..And just a few hours from Zzyzx, CA mentioned by Misty.
Denelda says
MAINE ME!
When we were on family trips when I was a kid, I loved to look at the maps for strange town names! I’ve never lived in a place with a weird name, but I’m not too far from Hygiene, CO.
Lizzie says
Maine Me! Pennsylvania must have a lot of interesting ones…recently bought farmer’s market apple butter from Bird-in-Hand, PA!
missty says
Maine Me!
Lucy says
MAINE ME
It’s not a town, but we recently drove through Georgia and came upon a road simply called “Old Dark Road.” It looked the part!
Krista says
MAINE ME!
Jael says
Maine Me!
Here in Central Iowa, both Jamaica and Peru are a short drive away–so exotic here in the Midwest!
Katie@Impatientlyprayingforpatience says
MAINE ME!!
We just saw that there is a Paw-paw, IL. Paw-paw was the name of my grandfather and now the name of my father in law to my kids.
Elissa says
MAINE ME
We lived in a suburb of Oconomowoc, WI before and it was always funny to hear people try and pronounce it! : )
Kate says
Maine me! I can’t say that I have been anywhere with a truly unique name.

Maine Me
The sign to Cooter, Missouri always makes me laugh!
Amanda says
MAINE ME!
While driving up to Washington D.C. last year, my husband and I passed through Spotsylvania, VA (anything -ylvania is funny to us) and Dumfries, VA (pronounced dumb fries in our mind). We couldn’t stop laughing for miles. Luckily I keep a travel journal when we go on trips so I can remember things like that just for occassions like these!
Jamie says
MAINE ME! I grew up in Michigan City, Indiana. One would think that Michigan City would be located in the state of Michigan…
