What's In a Name Part I.

My PICAW (Partner In Crime At Work) and myself found ourselves bored at work when we were covering the phones. 
I randomly searched for unique names in our patron database and was quite surprised what names (first and middle) popped up.  So what started out as a way to pass the time turned into a competitive game.

Our list became quite extensive and we have tried to keep it organized, somewhat...

States:

Florida
Georgia
Illinois
Indiana
Louisiana
Maine
Maryland
Montana
Nevada
Virginia
Washington



We found out that our library system has its own "United Nations" of patrons names when it came to countries along with some other cities.

Countries and Cities:

Africa
America
Antigua
Argentina
Asia
Austria
Bari
Benin
Bolivia
Brazil
Burma
Canada
Chad
China
