To anyone who's wondering when the fuck I'm going to post ari x vada,

I promise you I will get it done this spring break, if not then I'm total trash. But I must inform you that I haven't been able to work on it very much this week, I've been back and forth between my great grandmother's house and school projects. Because of this it will definitely take me longer to get it finished. 

 With that out of the way,  I have been working on these names for over a month during school and a little at home. So you will probably expect much background information about certain names. even though some of them are completely irrelevant I still hope you will enjoy them. Ok yeet yeet skeet skeet let's go

Northeast

New York - Noël York | noël is dutch and york is an old English variant so I thought this made sense.
