Not that I follow this kinda stuff, but I thought some of these names were interesting enough to post on here. Oh, and I included last names because I couldn't tell if some of them were middle names or a second last name...

Alaska: Jessica Kazmierczak
Alabama: Katherine Webb
Arizona: Erika Lane Frantzve
Arkansas: Kelsey Dow
California: Natalie Pack
Colorado: Marybel Gonzalez
Connecticut: Marie-Lynn Piscitelli
Delaware: Krista Clausen
District of Columbia (Washington DC): Monique LaShone Thompkins
Florida: Karina Brez
Georgia: Jasmyn Alexandria Wilkins "Jazz"
Hawaii: Brandie Kapuaalohaakaua Cazimero
Idaho: Erna Palic
Illinois: Ashley Hooks
Indiana: Megan Myrehn
Iowa: Rebecca Hodge
Kansas: Gentry Linn Miller (never seen Gentry as a first name, and a girl's name at that!)
Kentucky: Amanda Ashlee Mertz
Louisiana: Erin Edmiston
Maine: Rani Williamson
Maryland: Nana Meriwether
Massachusetts: Natalie Victoria Pietrzak
Michigan: Kristen Samantha Danyal
Minnesota: Nitaya Panemalaythong
Mississippi: Myverick Rashea Garcia (Myverick on a girl? huh.)
Missouri: Katie Kearney
Montana: Autumn Marie Muller
Nebraska: Amy Spilker
Nevada: Jade Ashley Kelsall
New Hampshire: Ryanne Harms
New Jersey: Michelle Leonardo
New Mexico: Jessica Renee Martin
New York: Johanna Sambucini
North Carolina: Sydney Marie Perry
North Dakota: Jaci Stofferahn
Ohio: Audrey Bolte
Oklahoma: Lauren Taylor Lundeen
Oregon: Alaina Bergsma
Pennsylvania: Sheena Monnin
Rhode Island: Olivia Culpo
South Carolina: Erika Powell
South Dakota: Taylor Neison
Tennessee: Jessica Hibler
Texas: Brittany Lynn Booker
Utah: Kendyl Carol Bell
Vermont: Jamie Lynn Dragon
Virginia: Catherine Ashley Muldoon
Washington: Christina Clarke
West Virginia: Andrea Rogers
Wisconsin: Emily Guerin
Wyoming: Holly Allen

Personally, none of these names jumped out to me, except Gentry, Myverick, Kendyl, Erna, and Nitaya, and even then they're just NMS. The only ones that were OK and not yucky and/or trendy are Alaina, Autumn, Natalie, Brandie and Marybel. How about you? WDYT?
