    I don't mean the name of a state. I mean a state used as a name.

    Names like Texas Pete and Tennessee Williams just work. Other states? Not so much.

    I'm trying to think of the worst one imaginable. So far as bad as I could get has been Delaware Stanforth, or (although not a state, it works too well to ignore) U.S. Virgin Islands Montgomery.

    Please love yourself.

                        I don’t really understand the assignment. But I’ll go with Kentucky Gertrude.

                              Pennsylvania Tuxedo... both a real outfit choice, as well as a tasty beverage from Dogfish.

                                No like they don't have to actually exist. But if you had a name whose construction was [State/U.S. Province or Territory first name] + [Last Name], what's the most ridiculous combination you could possibly think up?

                                Indiana Jones is out because c'mon, he's cool. (Or at least was in movies 1-3.)

                                Please love yourself.
