I've never been to Alaska, but one day I would love to go . I used to have a stuffed Polar Bear that I really loved as a young child. On it's scarf it said Alaska, so I named him Alaska. As a name, meh. I would prefer it as a middle name. I like honoring things with the middle name most of the time. I really like the name
Savannah for a girl, a lot. That's a city in
Georgia that a lot of people are aware of and there's the African
Savanna as well. I guess you could compare Alaska to other well known place names too like
Savannah,
Georgia,
Carolina,
Alexandria,
Knox (Knoxville),
Raleigh,
Marion,
Marietta,
Conway,
Madison and so on. Overall, I think it would fit with the place name trend. It's alright, but I personally wouldn't use it.
