Help[Opinions] Re: Alaska
in reply to a message by )(
I'll ask her.
In general state names as first names is fine with me. It's Americana. Has an unpretentious vibe. I like or dislike them as individual names, and them being state names doesn't really interfere, as long as they sound "like names" to me. Western state names seem much more amenable to becoming people-names, and the style seems more Western. Alaska sounds like a name, pretty much, but not quite enough for me. About as much as Tennessee, which is about as good/bad as a name IMO.
