No Name, Colorado

Although the long and hard-to-pronounce town names around America like to trip us up on our pronunciation and spelling, there's no doubt about the fact that we appreciate the creativity behind them. That's why we're a little underwhelmed to learn that there's a small town in Colorado quite literally called No Name. But when you realize that the 200 residents were forced to give their small town a name, it makes a bit more sense.
