I assume North and South Carolina are green because you can name your kid just "Carolina", so why is only one of the Washingtons green if we're allowed to use partial names?

Edit: Also Columbia is a name

I'm guessing cause they're using the District of Columbia part and maybe didn't think about chopping off the District part like with the North and South parts.

I would love it if I could read this map, but I'm kinda colorblind. And also an idiot.

100%. I lost my enchroma's a few years ago and earlier today I was thinking about buying another pair. I wonder if this would be any more readable with them.

Many years ago my optometrist said that wearing a single ruby contact would help me by making reds and greens appear different between each eye. Maybe I should give it a shot on unreadable images like this.

Would that make one eye ruby red? That would look cool as fuck.

There are a couple apps that supposedly help, like Color Blind Pal. Have you tried those?

To be fair it’s his last name, and also like his agent name, right? But I do think Utah as a first name is SICK. But I’m from there sooo… lol

Afaik it was his real name. Brody recognized him from his college football star days.

If you name your daughter after a state or city, she will pay for school by dancing.

Stage names are typically made up. That dancer you like named after a city is probably actually a Jennifer or an Amanda.

As a joke, you're damn right lol.

In reality, back when I was bouncing strip clubs, it was car names that ended up grinding a pole. Mercedes in particular. Knew three different strippers named Mercedes, only ever met one with a state name that wasn't a last name.

One Porsche, one Ferrari.

But the rest had pretty typical names, rather than being named after something. You'd run into names from languages other than English being placed on ladies that couldn't speak them for sure. But nothing too weird.

Also, in the joints I worked at, ladies working through school was more common than I expected, but far from being as many as you'd hear telling customers they were.

This one place, a nicer joint, there was a lady that was doing a master's in psychology, and she ended up kinda recruiting three other ladies from the same school that worked there for a while. And one of those got two of her friends jobs there, one as a dancer, the other behind the bar.

Some of these have no business being dark green. North Carolina? That's not a person name

8

I think they're lopping off the norths and souths. Dakota's a great name, South Dakota is terrible

Come on, now. Ain't the author heard of Alabama Whurly? She tastes like peach.

Yeah, “Alaska” is kind of a nice name too

Also Idaho lol

9

I really feel like Colorado and Maine should not be grouped in with California and Idaho

Allowing middle names opens up the field a lot.

“Russel Alabama” isnt too bad

Literally considering naming my incoming daughter Rhoda (of Rhodes) I think it's a fine name. Also shares a name with a girl in classic literature.
