Maryland has a decent number of them:

Marbury
Mardela Springs  (already mentioned upthread)
Margate
Mariners
Marion
Marley
Marlow Heights
Marlton  (already mentioned upthread)
Marriott Hill
Marriottsville
Marston
Martins Addition
Martinsburg
Marydel   (already mentioned upthread, but maybe it shouldn't count since "Mary" is clearly a reference to "Maryland" - in this case)

Admittedly, some of these places aren't very big.
