There are billions of people and a version of normal to go along with each one of them. No two versions are exactly the same. There will be hundreds of thousands of little things that make up your version of normal. With any luck you can find people that have close to the same idea of what normal is that you do. These are your friends. Anyone else you try to tolerate as best you can. .... The exact definition of normal depends on who's running the asylum.

It seems that they honor founding fathers or have a number of places named by people with zero imagination. I like seeing places with amusing or weird names. What's with the Clintons? Did Bill make that much of an impression, or (please, no!) something to do with Monica's service?
In Texas we have many names that are mispronounced, based on their Spanish origin. San Antonio in Bexar County (pronounced Bear), and there is a town called Mexia (pronounced Mahaia), and some that are pronounced by the locals different from what they are spelled. For example the Pedernales River is pronounced by local Texans as the Perdenales River. Hmmmmm.
I'm in a state that has Jor, MT and Butte, MT
I don't know about Tennessee, but Ohio sure has most of them.
We have a Madison in Limestone County. It's a nondescript place.
Franklin, Pennsylvania, is a wonderful piece of small-town America.
