View Full Version : Name a famous person with the same initials as a US state postal abbreviation
For example—
NY (New York)- Neil Young
MD (Maryland)- Michael Douglas
The person doesn’t have to have any connection to the state, just the same initials. You can repeat states with different people, but I wonder if all fifty can be done. Texas is tough. We need someone named Tom Xavier to become famous.
I’ll leave the 50 initials here for easy reference.
