Heh, well, I'm from New Jersey. So the first thing I think of when I see or hear Trenton is the capitol of New Jersey. I'm sure that's not true of everyone. And although I think New Jersey is a great and beautiful state, I acknowledge that every large city in New Jersey is, well, pretty crappy, which is what gives the state an undeserved reputation. It's the country and suburbs of New Jersey that are beautiful, and too many people don't even realize that New Jersey even has country and suburbs, and that's why I get so defensive. But I digress. So, as I said, every large city in New Jersey is crappy and run-down. Including Trenton. Which predisposes me not to like it as a personal name.But I really think that even if it weren't for that, I'd find Trenton ugly. It reminds me of a toad.Elias Scott is nice enough. Elias is fairly handsome and not overused, and Scott is boring as a first name but it makes a nice middle.I don't like Idabel at all. I don't like Isabel or Isabelle, and Idabel is a little worse than those.

New Jersey...round about this time of year, some of our fruit comes from there.Strawberries, for example. (We've just had leaves on the trees for the last two weeks, slow Spring.)So, plainly there must be nice farming country in the state.New Jersey doesn't have a poor image, for me.

I appreciate that! New Jersey isn't called The Garden State for nothing.
