Most Unique U.S. State Name

So, I saw this YouTube video the other day that was talking about what the most unique country name is. They ended up narrowing it down to Zimbabwe, Cuba, Cyprus and 1 other (idr). They ended up picking Cyprus as the most unique country name.

So that got me thinking about what the most unique U.S. State name was.

Let's narrow them down.

The States in Alphabetical Order:

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas

 California, Colorado, Connecticut 

Delaware

 Florida

 Georgia 

Hawaii

 Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa

 Kansas, Kentucky

 Louisiana

 Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana 

Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota,

 Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon,

 Pennsylvania

 Rhode Island 

South Carolina, South Dakota

 Tennessee, Texas 

Utah 

Vermont, Virginia 

Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming

We can instantly take out states such as Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire and New Mexico.

 Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon,

 Pennsylvania

 Rhode Island 

South Carolina, South Dakota

 Tennessee, Texas 

Utah 

Vermont, Virginia 

Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming

With this step we can get rid of Rhode Island (island), Louisiana (Louis), Washington, Maryland (Mary, land), Indiana, Georgia & Pennsylvania (Penn).

 Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon,

 Pennsylvania

 Rhode Island 

South Carolina, South Dakota

 Tennessee, Texas 

Utah 

Vermont, Virginia 

Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming

With this step we can get rid of Nebraska & Alaska, Mississippi & Missouri and Kansas & Arkansas (not pronounced similarly but spelled very similarly).

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas

 California, Colorado, Connecticut 

Delaware

 Florida

 Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa

 Kansas, Kentucky

Louisiana

Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana

Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon,

Pennsylvania

Rhode Island 

South Carolina, South Dakota

Tennessee, Texas 

Utah 

Vermont, Virginia 

Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming

I'm only getting rid of states with words somewhere in their name that has at least 3 letters.

With this step we can get rid of Wisconsin (sin), Tennessee (ten, see), Oregon (ore), Montana (tan), Massachusetts (mass, set), Maine, Kentucky (Ken, tuck), Illinois (ill), Florida (rid), Delaware (ware), Connecticut (con, cut), Colorado (rad), Arizona (Ari (nickname)) and Alabama (bam).

We're down to 13 state names left.

The States in Alphabetical Order:

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas

 California, Colorado, Connecticut 

Delaware

 Florida

 Georgia 

Hawaii

 Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa

 Kansas, Kentucky

Louisiana

Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana 

Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota,

Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon,

Pennsylvania

Rhode Island 

South Carolina, South Dakota

Tennessee, Texas 

Utah 

Vermont, Virginia 

Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming

With this step we can get rid of Wyoming (ing), California (ia)

I'm also going to get rid of Ohio at this point because oh, hi, io.

The remaining states are as follows (in alphabetical order): 
Hawaii,
Idaho,
Iowa,
Michigan,
Minnesota,
Nevada,
Oklahoma,
Texas, 
Utah,
Vermont.


So how do we narrow this down even more? How about we just take away any of the states that start with the same letter?



Hawaii,
Idaho,
Iowa,
Michigan,
Minnesota,
Nevada,
Oklahoma,
Texas, 
Utah,
Vermont.

And then there were two...

Before I tell you which one I chose, I just want to remind you try to figure out your own answer by narrowing it down yourself. Please comment down below what your choice would be and if you agree with me on mine.

I choose Utah because Utah doesn't have any repeating letters and also it starts with a vowel which is rare for any word. And U is the least common vowel as well.

Thanks for reading the blog! Please let me know in the comment your answer and also if you'd like me to do more blogs similar to this one (maybe I could figure out what the most unique country name is in my opinion).

Note: This is my first blog in 5 years so cut me some slack (and if you're wondering why you can't find my other blogs, it's because I deleted all of them because they were terrible (spelling, grammar, content, everything etc.)
