Um...if I were naming a kid a state name today, Minnesota.

---

I'd pick Tennessee for myself.
Georgia and Virginia are respectable.

---

I like Florida and Carolina kind of but only when I pronounce them differently than I do the states.

---

Michigan, Nevada, Wyoming, Delaware, Vermont are ones I would think sounded interesting if I came across them probably.

I think Dakota is very pretty but I'd never use it because it's just weird to name someone after a state that was named after its Indigenous peoples.

---

Also I have never been in North or South Dakota and I don't want to.

Carolina. I don't really like Dakota, Virginia and Georgia much, but they're fine.
I know a girl named Montana, and the name fits her surprisingly well.

---

None of them work for guys.

Virginia has to be my favorite.

Girls: Georgia, Virgina, Carolina (said differently of course) Kansas (guilty pleasure. Knew a girl from school actually named this)
Boys: Dakota, York

---

That's about it.

Probably Dakota. Or Georgia. Oh, and Alaska!

---

York is nice as a middle name.

I don't count Georgia, Carolina or Virginia as US state names, given that they are used elsewhere.

---

Other than those, I would say Vermont sounds kinda handsome for a boy and I quite like Montana, but I wouldn't use either.

I like Tennessee.

Alaska, Arizona "Ari", Dakota, Louisiana "Lou", Montana & Utah (f)

---

Indiana "Indie" & Tennessee (m)

Caralina

Georgia is my favorite.

Georgia

Alaska

Virginia “Ginny”

I like Georgia too!

---

I also like Virginia. You don't see many Virginias, but I think it's a beautiful name.

---

In terms of States that aren't already names, I kinda dig Arizona. I like the twang it has.

Virginia but there’s no nicknames I like.
