Arizona (why would you name your kid after a state? Any state?)

Pluto (yes, because all children want to be named after a planet)

Pirate (don't know where to begin on this)

Phoenix (okay naming your kid after where they were concieved is one thing, but Phoenix)

Omega (why would anyone in their right mind name their kid after a greek letter, I'm greek and I still wouldn't do it)
Naming your child after a state is not unheard of, most of those names are Indian (Native American) however. The Native American's were in North America first before the English arrived.

Why would a person name their child after a state? For the same reason a person would want to name their child after a country they love so much or after a famous person they admire like Joseph 'Fighting Joe' Hooker or a movie character like Luke Skywalker.

Ever thought about it what way?

And you had to go on the defensive because?

You could name your kid poophead for all I care, I would still ask you why you chose that name. All you would do is tell me why.

And everytime someone asked me that I would say, because I like it. Hows that for a reason?
