You left out the funniest of them all...Tuscaloosa!

Mmmm, maybe. But did you know the origin of the name "Tuscaloosa?"

"In honor of the legendary "Black Warrior," a great chief who had had a fateful encounter with explorer Hernando DeSoto centuries before somewhere in Southwest Alabama, the settlers named the place Tuscaloosa (from the Choctaw words "tushka" meaning warrior and "lusa" meaning black)."
