city names are weird

My job consists primarily of data entry; more specifically, people's contact information. i see a lot of crazy names, crazy street names, and and i get to learn about (probably not) exciting cities all around the US. Take yesterday for example...

Hm okay, next person. Wappingers Falls, NY? Haha what a funny city name. I better look it up on Google maps to make sure that's correct. www.maps.google.com-"Wappingers Falls"-*Search Maps*. Hm, whattya know. It's a city in the southeast portion of New York. Innnteresting.

Some time passes...

Ocoee??? Now that CAN'T be an actual city. www.maps.google.com-"Ocoee"-*Search Maps*.

"Did you mean:
Ocoee, FL
Ocoee, Orange, FL

Ocoee, TN
Ocoee, Polk, TN"

Whaaat?! Not only is Ocoee a real city but there are TWO of them in the US. Wow.
