I used to live there, it doesn't make sense as a name. I've only seen it as a name on the character Wyoming Knott. I can't see "ing" as a name suffix except maybe in Aisling, but that reads as "ling" and feels like a nickname in English (associated with 'babyish' words like duckling, gosling, hatchling, etc.) as opposed to just "ing".

I really like it!

Utterly appalling.

I think it sounds a lot like Naomi but with an -ng, but since I hate that pronunciation of Naomi I don’t like this either.

Apparently I’m the only one here who doesn’t mind it. I think Georgia, Florida, and Virginia are awful, but this is pretty to me.

Georgia, Florida and Virginia? Sure! Arizona, Alaska, Dakota or Louisiana? A little tacky, but maybe. Wyoming? Absolutely not. Wyoming is probably one of if not the worst of American state names. I heard a few weeks ago of a woman named Pensylvania, and she hated it and was embarassed by it, so she changed it to Penelope. I would urge anyone to please just use Georgia.

Who. Even. Thought. Of. This.

No, just no, you should not be legally allowed to name your kid Wyoming.

I learned so much about Wyoming after Googling it to look up the etymology. I knew almost nothing about it! Its state motto is "Equal Rights"?? Who knew! It sure looks like a beautiful place, nature-wise.

I don't like Wyoming as a name for person. It's not a very catchy sound. Some State names are fun, but Wyoming doesn't do anything for me.

No thanks.

I think Wyomia would work better for a girl.

This is one sstate name that just doesn't seem to work for a first name. At best, it's a slightly hokey cowboy-esque nn for someone from that state.

Terrible
