Baby names that reference state capitals take place names for babies to another level. Along with the likes of Austin and Madison, which directly reference state capital names, there are other names which could pay tribute to them more subtly, like Harris for Harrisburg or Nash for Nashville.
In addition to Madison and Nash, state capital names in the US Top 1000 include Austin, Boston, Denver, Jackson, Lincoln, Madison, Olympia, and Phoenix. Unique state capital names for babies include Albany, Juneau, Providence, and Raleigh.
