One September, a hurricane blew a bunch of people into what we now know as Florida. They built a capital, and named it after their most aerodynamic arrivee, Janet Tallahassee.
The rest of the state was named after the other folks who blew in: Leonard Miami, Tony Orlando, Brenda Tampa, Fred Pensacola, Mary Bocaraton, John Keywest, Harry Westpalmbeach, Sue Suncitycenter, ...
They'd have built more cities, but it was 3:30, and time for the Early Bird Special.
