Re: Obsession with Tennessee?
I think it's less about Tennessee and more about the general style of name. Nash and Knox fit in with the surnames-as-first-names trend, as well as the one-syllable trend. Memphis fits in with the place-names thing.
Likewise I think the Austin-Dallas-etc thing was more about the surnames, placenames in general and also a country-western vibe.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
