Since there are many of them, I wanted to see if anyone knew if their name was used in a county. I searched Google, and found nothing for David (those idiots), but I did find this one. Anyone else have intresting county names? :)

My 8 year old niece Madison (Maddie) is named after the town in Mississippi where her mom and dad lived when she was born.

Madison may have been born at a hospital in Flowood, Mississippi, but she lived the first 2 1/2 years of her life in the lovely little town she was named for...Madison, Mississippi....located in Madison County :D

I sould claim to be named after Perry, Georgia or Perry county, PA...but I'd be fibbing. My dad's always took pride that he named me after an Georgia high school football star that later played in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons.

Speaking of being named after counties and the like, I also had a great-great aunt named Savannah ("Vanna" for short)...after the Georgia seaport city :)

God Bless,
Perry
