HelpRe: Half Awake Name Thought
in reply to a message by Howie
I like it, theoretically. My friend and I, both Brits, were actually discussing Alabama some time ago, how we both thought it had such an interesting sound, and she finds it very evocative of summer. We then went on to list a number of other US place names we felt would make good names in theory -- Indiana, Arizona, Louisiana -- before moving on to something else.
Additionally, Alabama has a few pop culture connotations I'm rather fond of; Mr White's old partner in Reservoir Dogs, Alabama Song by The Doors / Bertolt Brecht, and the song Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. I guess they're comparatively niche references, though, but still something I thought I'd mention, as they make me even fonder of the name.
As a combo, Alabama Lucy Josephine is daring and darling all at once, I think. If Alabama didn't feel like she pulled off her name, she called always opt for Allie, Abby, Amy, or one of her middle names (I'd go for Josephine, personally).
