out of all the states in the US, which state do you think has the prettiest name? what's your favorite?

For me, I'd have to say the state of Hawaii has the best name.

Rhode Island & Providence Plantations. --- Especially the second word!

Rhode Island is the longest state name ("Rhode Island and Providence Plantations") and it's fun... especially when pronounced by someone with a local accent, "Rahdialin"

Massachusetts sounds like someone has a cold.

Maine is the only state name that's only one syllable.

I personally enjoy Ohio and Idaho. Nebraska is fun to say as well.
