Dildo, Newfoundland
It was hard to decide on only one ridiculous town name from Newfoundland. Google it; there are many giggle-worthy place names here. (Dildo tops them, though.)
This fishing town was named for the term for a special type of wooden boat fitting — a dildo. Although motions are frequently brought to change the name at city council, residents always vote them down. After all, the economy benefits from the many tourists who just have to visit a town called “Dildo.”
