. Naming someone West Virginia would be pretty humorous given that Virginia actually is an established name, so if you wanted to get a laugh at your probably-daughter's expense her entire life, that could be a good way to go. Can't drop the 'West' till you turn 18!
I'd just go by "West" or "Westy" (assuming I didn't resent my parents enough to pick a nickname totally unrelated). Not so much now, but in a prior era you could say you were named after Kanye West and it'd be kinda cool.
Massachusetts, Maryland, & Connecticut seem particularly bad names for people. I wouldn't like Mississippi, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Hawaii, Illinois, or Missouri either. Idaho is also problematic if you think about middle school teasing.
Nebraska, Wyoming, Nevada, Alaska, Montana, Indiana, and Utah seem like cool names to have.
Georgia and Virginia are already too ordinary & common.
I have a great great grandmother whose middle name is Missouri.
Virginia and Georgia used to be common women's names.
There were guys named Tex but I never heard of a guy actually named Texas.
