Pretty standard fare, with a couple of exceptions.

Hawaii: I'd love to know what her middle name means!
Kansas: I actually saw Gentry on a little boy. His last name was Commander, which I thought was absolutely hysterical. Gentry Commander... poor kid.
Utah: Kendyl doesn't surprise me at all. A lot of Mormon families I know (and know of) do takeoffs of preexisting names.
Mississippi: just kill me.
Minnesota: I'm assuming East Asian heritage? Nitaya is pretty cool.
Maine: Love Rani.
Maryland: I kind of like Nanna in theory, not Nana, but it still boils down to naming your kid "grandma."
