Use the postal abbreviations for the U.S. states and Canadian provinces to create a list of names with a first/middle combo for each state. No repeats! If you’re feeling a more extensive wanderlust, feel free to add the Canadian territories and Mexican states into the mix, too.

---

Then, assemble some groupings from your master list based on where you have lived, have vacationed, have driven through, have flown to, have never been, wish to visit, etc. See what families you create!
