Is it wrong to enjoy hearing people say the word, “Sheboygan”?

Is it wrong to enjoy hearing people say the word, “Sheboygan”?

In the classic comedy film Some Like it Hot the characters played by Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon claimed to have gone to the "Sheboygan Conservatory of Music". Obviously this location was selected for its funny sounding name as well as the fact that it sounds like the last place there would be a conservatory of music.

According to Wikipedia, besides the city of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, there is a separate town of Sheboygan, which is also in Wisconsin. There is also a city called Cheboygan in Michigan. Sheboygan is at the mouth of the Sheboygan River and Cheboygan is at the mouth of the Cheboygan River. More confusingly, there is also both a city and a town named Sheboygan Falls.
