(I think you didn’t read my post close enough, I do allude to that.)

There used to be a lot more Snohomish. . . before the white man came along.

The one in California always throws me when I see it on tracking info. I keep wondering why they would ship something back East just to come the other way.

Wow. Way less Missions than I expected. (I don’t live there, anymore). I imagined it would be far more common.

Places in Old World Europe are less likely to be unique because so many places elsewhere are named after them, e.g. Birmingham, England and Birmingham, AL; Athens, Greece and Athens, GA; Mérida, Spain and Mérida, Mexico ; Perth, Scotland and Perth, Australia, etc., etc., etc.

And, as I suspected, Newfoundland leads the English-speaking world in the “what the hell were you thinking” list. (Then again, searching Newfoundland place names often points out if you want results you need to turn safe-search off).

I like to joke that Idaho was created to screw with people by taking famous city names (IE Moscow, Paris)

So let’s see, there’s only one of the sleepy little place I grew up in, but now there’s two Salt Lake City(es). The other being a new suburb of New Delhi.

I looked up Glendale (there are 39, two being in Africa), on my suspicion that there’s one in every state; but the one it listed for Utah is in the south end of the state near Kanab, whereas the one most known is a suburb of SLC.

There’s a few Las Vegas(es), and the one in New Mexico is actually older than the tourist trap.

And to finish off:

There is one place called Fucking in the world.
