Maggie's Nipples? That's just funny. Ha-ha, I remember saying pasties (referring to cornish pasty) and people thought these <A HREF="http://www.yournipplecovers.com/" REL="nofollow">pasties</A>.kzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01218065779681668593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-90355127717236191322008-08-04T13:49:00.000-04:002008-08-04T13:49:00.000-04:00Hi, Kathryn,<BR/>I LOVE place names! And yes, I think men name most mountains--witness the Grand Tetons! (French for "breasts")<BR/><BR/>My favorite in northern California, where I live, is Putah Creek. "Putah" means whore in Spanish. Must have been some creek!<BR/><BR/>Fun blog!<BR/>Lynna BanningLynna Banninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03263906424273004473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-28491647157842119172008-08-02T08:21:00.000-04:002008-08-02T08:21:00.000-04:00Hi Kathryn,<BR/>I know exactly what you mean about driving places! When we do research trips in France I love to drive, not only do you stumble across all those wonderful place-names, but you also get a much closer idea of the lie of the land, the local flowers and wildlife.<BR/>Can't wait to read this one!<BR/>Best wishes<BR/>CarolCarol Townendhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06272578445125707881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-13792273686178901392008-08-02T07:44:00.000-04:002008-08-02T07:44:00.000-04:00Hi, Kathryn,<BR/>I find it amusing how there seem to be a limited number of place names. How many Londons are there or Parises? Each state seems to have one, and I spotted them in Canada as well. I think it would be fun to pick one place name and go to all the locations in the world with that name.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I really enjoyed Angel and the Outlaw. :-)<BR/>LaurelLaurel Bradleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18140310900001942945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-44999933240500063202008-08-01T15:39:00.000-04:002008-08-01T15:39:00.000-04:00Hi Mary! Maggie's Nipples is actually a mountain in Wyoming (not a town!) But you can probably guess it was a man that named it! Don't know for sure, but that's my thought and I'm sticking to it!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting!Kathryn Albrighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00133422500061876841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-38316223703634752742008-08-01T15:37:00.000-04:002008-08-01T15:37:00.000-04:00Anne - Great to have you here too! Thanks for leaving a comment. I'll have to make sure to check out your blog on Texas names too! Make sure to alert me when you post it. I particularly like "Spunky Flats". Just has such a fun sound to it, like the book would be all about teasing and games.Kathryn Albrighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00133422500061876841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-32291820741942694172008-08-01T15:35:00.000-04:002008-08-01T15:35:00.000-04:00Hi Edie!<BR/>Thanks for stopping by! I know I've read a good romance set in Egg Harbor--years ago. It was by LaVerle Spencer, I believe. Always made we want to visit there. It's on my list--Door County, WI.Kathryn Albrighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00133422500061876841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-32403460597100294742008-08-01T15:33:00.000-04:002008-08-01T15:33:00.000-04:00Well, let me try this again. My previous post didn't come through.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting Liza/Donna! I hadn't head of Spread Eagle before. I like the sound of it for a Native American story...Kathryn Albrighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00133422500061876841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-13811115478661472352008-08-01T14:54:00.000-04:002008-08-01T14:54:00.000-04:00Kathryn, I enjoyed this blog so much. <BR/><BR/>I can't believe there is a town out there called Maggie's Nipples! Love it!<BR/><BR/>These names really do make you wonder who first invented them, especially this one.<BR/><BR/>Marymsullivanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06769283159178695510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-25796333113943507312008-08-01T14:02:00.000-04:002008-08-01T14:02:00.000-04:00Hey Kathryn, first thanks for stopping by Petticoats and Pistols to chime in on the cowboy blog today!:)<BR/><BR/>Second, I've been doing some research for a blog I'm putting together regarding Texas town names and Central Texas as a few that are good for a chuckle like Ding Dong, Alligator School House, Granny's Neck and Spunky Flat! I just love to delve in and see how these funny names came about. Apparently people had quite a sense of humor when it came to naming their towns!Anne Carrolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17459916746850595922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12778111.post-88825389955834558222008-08-01T12:12:00.000-04:002008-08-01T12:12:00.000-04:00Love this subject! Door County, Wis., has Egg Harbor and Fish Creek. We have a dangerous road in my area unofficially called Hog's Back Road.

Personally, I love the name Spread Eagle, although I've never been sure if it's Wisconsin or the U.P. of Michigan. *G* Another town name that for some reason makes me grin is Stickney (back home in Illinois). There are others, they just don't come to mind right now when I need them to...LOL<BR/><BR/>Great blog!<BR/><BR/>~Donna/LizaLiza Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08642269808104367931noreply@blogger.com
