Peculiar, Uncertain, and Two Egg, by Don Blevins is a collection of more than 3,000 oddly named places in the United States and how each received its moniker. Some of the names are merely fascinating, others humorous; but anyone who uses this authoritative volume will be able to settle many an argument about how a particular site received its name.
