Let's name it something really weird, okay?
I know it's not just Georgia but I've always wondered why, when you can call your town anything, that people come up with names like...
Box Springs Abba
Attapulgus Egypt
Between Euharlee
Mosquito Crossing Hortense
Goolsby Lax
Goggins Mauk
Goochville Meansville
Tugaloo Mayday
Needmore Cusseta
Due West Rex
Mean Crossroads Roosterville
Mudlick Tallapoosa
Enigma Winder (say Wine-der)
Ty Ty Boggy
Centralhatchee Climax
Cumming
On the other hand...
Dewy Rose Tiger
Split Silk Newborn
Flowery Branch Brooklet
Big Canoe Daisy
Doerun Glory
Ideal Kinderlou
Mystic Retreat
Rising Fawn Sunny Side
Sunsweet Wrens
I couldn't decide which list to put Grooverville or Santa Claus on.
When we first moved to Georgia we lived in Bogart. For awhile I cringed whenever I had to say it.
I'm sure every place name has a story, but I'd rather wonder.
