I've been compiling plausible alternate names for states, provinces and territories in North America. This is what I've got so far. Of course, you may question a name or suggest one.
As for the long words with a lot of brackets, here's what they mean:
Al[a/i]ba[h]m(a/o) : Al is necessary; a/i are not necessary and one or the other can be used; ba again is necessary; h is not necessary; m is; a/o are necessary; one or the other may be used.
So Alibama, Alabahmo, and Alibahmo are all plausible names, depending on the language.
