Stately Names



In this puzzle, the shaded states on this map, as well as the state capitals marked with a star, all have something in common: Each of their names contains a familiar first name. For example, the name ANN can be found in ANNAPOLIS (the capital of Maryland), and ART can be found in HARTFORD (the capital of Connecticut).

Can you figure out which states or state capitals contain the other first names below? Write each place's name on the blank space, then locate it on the map and write the number of that name in the correct circle. (We've done this for the first two to get you started.) Three of the names can be found in more than one place, and one of the states contains two different names.
