If every U.S. state had a surname for bastards, like Game of Thrones, what would each state's name be?
There was a fun thread on reddit yesterday that asked users to come up with Game of Thrones-like surnames for every U.S. State. I went through and picked out my favorites from the thread and mapped them below.
When reading these, read it as, "You know nothing, Jon ______."
