  We search for host galaxy candidates of nearby fast radio bursts (FRBs), FRB
180729.J1316+55, FRB 171020, FRB 171213, FRB 180810.J1159+83, and FRB
180814.J0422+73 (the second repeating FRB). We compare the absolute magnitudes
and the expected host dispersion measure $\rm DM_{host}$ of these candidates
with that of the first repeating FRB, FRB 121102, as well as those of long
gamma ray bursts (LGRBs) and superluminous supernovae (SLSNe), the proposed
progenitor systems of FRB 121102. We find that while the FRB 121102 host is
consistent with those of LGRBs and SLSNe, the nearby FRB host candidates, at
least for FRB 180729.J1316+55, FRB 171020, and FRB180814.J0422+73, either have
a smaller $\rm DM_{host}$ or are fainter than FRB121102 host, as well as the
hosts of LGRBs and SLSNe. In order to avoid the uncertainty in estimating $\rm
DM_{host}$ due to the line-of-sight effect, we propose a galaxy-group-based
method to estimate the electron density in the inter-galactic regions, and
hence, $\rm DM_{IGM}$. The result strengthens our conclusion. We conclude that
the host galaxy of FRB 121102 is atypical, and LGRBs and SLSNe are likely not
the progenitor systems of at least most nearby FRB sources. {The recently
reported two FRB hosts differ from the host of FRB 121102 and also the host
candidates suggested in this paper. This is consistent with the conclusion of
our paper and suggests that the FRB hosts are very diverse. }
