Bible Character + US State = Awesome band names

This could potentially be a fun game. Like all of my brilliant ideas, I only have one actual concrete example to offer, but it seems like there ought to be more, like in my "Apocryphal Specialty Pizza" series (Echeesiasticus, by the way). The rules are as stated above. Some combination of Biblical character combined in some way with a US State name, to produce a super hip folk band name. My name is:

Oklamoses and the Nebraskivites

Game on.

we've got a couple good ones: "Texodus" by way of cousin Zech, and "Coloradigal Son," another of mine. I get to claim mine as a good one because its my blog.

I submit to you:
The Alabamahershalalhashbaz Five (Isaiah 8:1)

I further add:
The Pereshidents of the Shunited States of Meshullamerica

Peresh: 1 Chronicles 7:16
Shuni: Genesis 46:16
Meshullam: 1 Chronicles 3:19

Do I get a 3x multiplier for that one? Also, please forvive my compulsive scientific need to cite references (KJV, of course).

wow. Phillips...my hat is off to you. We had come up with Alabamalimelech for Alabama, and Mahershalalhashington for Washington, but Alabamahershalalhashbaz is awesome. Also, my recent favorite:

Arkaxerxes

And your scrupulous citations are always welcome.
