It seems like some of these places are as quirky as their names suggest. The town website belonging to Chicken, Alaska, for instance, encourages tourists to “get the cluck over here!” The site for Boring, Oregon, promises readers the town is “an exciting place to call home!”

Estately.com also includes a list of town names in each state that didn’t top their list, but deserved mentioning nonetheless. We have to agree ― Zzyzx, California certainly has quite the ring to it. Head on over to the site to check out the full list.
