I found a list of border town portmanteaus in the states. Just check out some of the dull imaginative names.
Calexico, California (California and Mexico)
Cal-Nev-Ari, Nevada (California, Nevada, and Arizona)
Chulajuana, California (Chula Vista, California and Tijuana, Mexico)
Dalhart, Texas (Dallam and Hartley counties)
Kenova, West Virginia (Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia)
Mardela Springs, Maryland (Maryland and Delaware)
Marydel, Delaware and Marydel, Maryland (Delaware and Maryland)
Monida, Montana (Montana and Idaho)
Norlina, North Carolina (North Carolina and Virginia)
Why do they do this? Why not use their imaginations? And by the way, this is just a small sample of towns.
