This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

One good excuse is that the word-word place names are translated from some other native language and the people moving in used the translations instead.

And sometimes you just get oddballs naming places...

Bemusing was that where I used to live we had towns like Clyde, Urbana, next to places with lurid names like Litchfield, Maimsburg and Painsville, and native names like Wapakoneta and Chillicothe, and old world names like Sandusky, Parma, etc.

That extends to Michigan now with things like Mt Pleasant... Thunder Bay, Coldwater...
