... and come to think of it, I think "Florida" is "flower-filled," not "Flowers."

And speaking of Florida, I was born and raised in Miami and I still remember the controversy over wheather it should be prounced Miamee or Miama. Miama was the old native pronounciation. I grew up calling it Miama. Sadly, Miamee won the battle. The old timers still call it Miama though.
