Help[Opinions] I knew an Arizona ...
in reply to a message by LMS
She was a woman; lived near my mother and stepfather, but she's dead now. She'd be in her seventies now. As I recall she had a twin sister named something like Betty or Barbara, something that didn't at all go with Arizona.
And the mother of the famous Barker Gang in the 1930s, Ma Barker, used the name Kate but was born Arizona Donnie Clark.
So yeah, I think of Arizona as a female name; on a boy it sounds like a nn, like Texas Pete or Jersey Charlie. Like a cowboy or an outlaw.
We don't need to set the sky on fire. A little glow will do just fine.

I know a Kansas. Not only know him, I'm related to him, a cousin a few times removed. Age 19. He has a brother named Xavier. (he's 14.)
The western U.S. states sound kind of romantic to me. Not the Canadian provinces so much. no-one called their child Saskatchewan, nor should they!
And the eastern provinces ...New Brunswick? Though some people use Nova, as in Nova Scotia.

People do use Alberta, or they did; but it's very, very dated.

There's Manitoba. I tend to regard it as a western province, though actually, it's sort of in the middle. The"a" on the end make it kind of name-y.
