[Opinions] Re: Obsession with Tennessee?
in reply to a message by Wish Fish
I don't know that Nash and Knox are necessarily after the cities in TN. Memphis, obviously, but could also be an Egypt thing like it is for me. I love that name but I love it for the Egypt connection, not the Tennessee connection.
Also, people tend to read, or at least they used to, Tennessee Williams in school (here in the states at least), so it's a name a lot of people are familiar with, and it's a memorable one as well.

I love Memphis as well, but for a girl.
It's odd to see it used as a male name
