Dunno if this is just an Oz phenomenon or not, but there seems to be a
fashion here for naming children (particularly girls) after USofA
states.  Is this widespread, does it happen in the USofA itself ?

A bloke I worked with named his daughter "Indiana" (I thought that was a
boy's name anyhow !), another bloke I worked with named his daughter
"Montana" and I heard a woman talking in the tea room last week, she
said her sister was naming her daughter "Dakota" (South/North - I'm not
sure !).
