Those are perhaps best called bordernames. Names that are blends
of the two state names and are usually on or near the border of
those two states. There's quite a few around. Off the top of my
head there are
Marydel and Delmar, both on the MD/DE border
Texhoma TX/OK
Florala AL
Alsask, SK (yes, Canada has one too)
Texarkana, which has elements of three states' names (but was
named after a railroad, I believe)
There's a bunch of others, but they don't come to mind right now.
