Bad Names


My husband and I love to think up bad names for things.  We imagine ourselves as an out-of-touch retired couple sinking their life savings into a lakeside resort and then naming it Mosquito Lake Resort.  Or Hungry Bear Campground. 

Recently a friend announced that he and his wife were going on a Wind Star Cruise.  My husband didn’t hear him right and busted out laughing. “One Star Cruise?  Did they tell you to bring your own food?  Who the heck would go on One Star Cruise?  Greg, you’re nuts.  Wait.  What?  Oh, WIND Star.  Never mind.”


We live near a town called Concrete, WA.  Really.  Of course they have a bakery named Concrete Pastries.  It’s insanely popular.

Led Zeppelin Hot Air Balloon Rides might not fly.

Buckin’ Bronco Horse Rides.

Rattlesnake Hills Campground.

Rascal Flatts Bike Rental.

Can you add to our list?

  2. One time in Juneau we past a place called St. Ann's Nursing Home. My husband read it wrong and thought it said Stan's Nursing Home. Doubt anyone would want to send Mom to Stan's Nursing Home!
