In West Virginia there is an exit off of Rt 50 that reads Haunted Hollow Run Road. It goes to Haunted Hollow I guess.

 

[Harlock]

Some more from Texas:

Bee Cave
Melvin

And not in Texas, but who can forget a set of Mountains named:

Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. Grand Teton is French for umm... big... well, let's call it breasts. Of course, it's near Jackson Hole...

New Hampshire has a few amusing ones. My favorite is Melvin Villiage.

There are also a bunch of unincorporated places that are just called X's Location, such as Erving's Location and Martin's Location.

When I lived in Plano, TX, the street the next block over was Lonesome Trail, and I thought that was cool as hell. Damn, I had another one, but I forgot.

Well, lots cities in San Diego (another place I used to live) have funny names, though not cool or D&D-esk. La Mesa (The Table), El Cajon (The Box), I lived on Loma Alta Drive (High Hill), Tierra Santa (Holy Land, AFAICT), and others I'm surely forgetting. All those Spanish names crack me up. Rio Grande (Big River), El Centro (The Center), and so on.

Well funny and weird names abundant in The Netherlands. But as some of the other non-us/uk posters stated non-translatable. Although there is one which translates just fine.

Monster, The Netherlands

 

[Skinwalker]

Devil's Tower, Wyoming
Hell, Arkansas
Somewhere between Houston and Austin there is a Hollering Woman Creek.

All of these sound like ripe locations for a horror campaign!
