How about
Bad Axe, Michigan

Located exactly half way between Fairbanks and Nenana in interior Alaska is:
"Skinny Dick's Halfway Inn" -Say THAT outloud.

I bought a bottle opener from there.

Dang... thats quite the list of names... when I read the thread title, I was going to mention two... both of which you mentioned! lol Peculiar (rumored to have started as a town with no name, which was quite Peculiar) and Tightwad (no clue, just different)! There are definitely some strange town names in this country. I wonder if other countries have the same "problem"?

Coach... I mean Randy (I often forget who I really am)

Down at The Lake of the Ozarks in southern Missouri, there is a place called Big Dicks Halfway Inn... their signature thing there is "Shooting the minnow"... you pop a minnow (live) and chase it with a shot of whatever makes ya happy... actually, I think we dropped the minnow in the shot and then shot it... anyway... Like he said, say Big Dicks Halfway Inn out loud and people stop... lmao
