How do feel about using states as baby names? I met a lady today named California.



Personally, I've always liked Georgia.

My grandfathers mother was named Florida, she was polish.

I'm assuming that has a meaning in Polish though?

[hoochiehoops.livejournal.com]

Honestly I have no idea but they were like from Poland, polish so I doubt they got it from the state.

I realize that "from poland, polish" does not make sense but I think you get what I mean.

I love Carolina, Georgia and Viriginia.

Quite a few state names were people's first names before they were state names (at least, as far as my understanding goes... I could be horribly wrong, I guess), so they're not too bad... Some of them just sound weird, though...

California is my guilty pleasure. =) Maine is on my list(would actually use as a mn).

I like Georgia as well.

[x-gussa.livejournal.com]

I don't think I would ever use Georgia though, it was be too weird since that's where I live.

At a clinic I used to work at we had a family of child patients, a couple sisters and a cousin or two, who all had state names. I remember there definitely was a Utah, an Alaska, and then I think it was Montana and Tennessee, I think.

our dogs name is virginia.

alabama and tennessee are guilty pleasures.

[x-gussa.livejournal.com]

I love Alabama!

I like Dakota and Carolina. And I loved Kansas in "Sugar and Spice", lol.

[x-gussa.livejournal.com]

I like Dakota, it's been one of my faves since I was young.

I like Georgia and Virginia. Other than that...not really.

I love the name Georgia. I feel like the only state names that actually sound normal on a person are Georgia, Dakota, Virginia and Carolina.

[kilobites.livejournal.com]

I really like Georgia and Virginia. I think that Carolina sounds normal on a person too.

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

I like Georgia, but that's where I live so it would be lame for me to use it.

[x-gussa.livejournal.com]

I feel that way too.

This is only slightly on topic but not quite.

I love the name Sydney but I live in Sydney so it could be weird.

[x-gussa.livejournal.com]

I have a cousin named Sydney.

I love Georgia, when i mentioned it to the DH he said sarcastically, well then we might as well name the other ones Deleware and Idaho...

[yourethedancer.livejournal.com]

Oh man my dad almost named me California. I think that's pushing it, frankly.
I do like Virginia and Georgia though.

[la-jolie-vie.livejournal.com]

I like Indiana and Dakota, but I doubt I would ever use them.

[wormslearntofly.livejournal.com]

Georgia is very acceptable. I know a girl called Arizona which I don't question either.
I know these aren't states but my friends boss's children are called Memphis and Vegas....wth.

[mountain-nest.livejournal.com]

Tennessee is pretty cool, IMO. For a male or a female.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

I love Alabama, Carolina and Georgia. Virgina is okay.

[amandidda.livejournal.com]

I love Carolina. Ok, I'm from their so I'm really biased...
