Seattle, WA (PRWEB) August 26, 2014 -- In honor of summer travel, Whitepages, the leading provider of contact information for people and businesses in the U.S., today reveals the most popular names in the country that are shared with travel destinations. While there are plenty of places named after people, like Lincoln, Nebraska, and Washington, D.C., Whitepages data found that Virginia tops the list with 577,805 people sharing the name – most of them living in West Virginia.

We loved seeing national pride reflected in the amount of people named America here in the United States (2,852 people)

Post this

Florence (Italy, and cities in AL, OR, and SC) and Victoria (TX, Canada) tied for second place with 404,327 people sharing the name, most common in Hawaii and New Mexico, respectively. Brittany (as in France, 350,775 people) and Charlotte (as in NC, VT, 254,489 people), round out the top five.

“There are lots of people named after exciting travel destinations like Paris, Asia, and India, which makes you wonder if their parents are world travelers, or better yet, if these people were conceived in these destinations,” says Liz Powell, culture and trend expert from Whitepages. “However, we loved seeing national pride reflected in the amount of people named America here in the United States (2,852 people).”

The Whitepages list breaks down the states where the people with these most common names are living. Interestingly enough, California (121 people) and Bronx (21 people), are most common in their respective states.
