Loveladies? Not Bird-in-Hand? New list is lacking

Apparently they were too Chicken (Alaska) to include the most suggestive appellations.

Chicken was actually considered by FindMyPast.com before its Top 10 picks were put up for a vote.

That's right. Chicken. Pretty tame, compared to some other animal names, like Deadhorse, Alaska; Tick Bite, N.C.; Beaverlick, Ky.; and Mosquitoville, Vt.

Others eliminated by editors, according to a spokeswoman: Who'd Thought It, Texas; No Name, Colo.; Embarrass, Minn.; Bear Bottle Crossing, Idaho; Elephant Butte, N.M.; and Intercourse, Pa.

So forget the likes of Horneytown, N.C., and Square Butt, Mont., let alone such sensitivity-challenging names like Gayhead, N.Y.; and Knockemstiff, Ohio.

It's not as if the editors totally ruled out anything bawdy- or body-related, since high on the list are Climax, Ga. (No. 2), Hooker, Okla. (4), and Assawoman, Md. (5).

The rest, though, while fun, are fairly tame: Boring, Ore. (3); Belchertown, Mass. (6); Roachtown, Ill. (7); and Squabbletown, Calif. (9).

Not saying that Looneyville, Bummerville, Hicksville or Greasy Corner could have won, but they, too, should have had a chance.

In a real competition, no way Loveladies makes the list.
