Let’s face it — some town names in Indiana are pretty funny. From the odd and exotic town names, like French Lick, Kokomo, and Peru, to hard to pronounce town names (here’s looking at you Versailles), there are some pretty interesting places in the Hoosier state. These 8 towns have some of the silliest names in the state but are well worth a visit.
