Connecticut residents are in a far worse state than New Hampshire. The “official” designation “Connecticuter” is bad enough, but designations used in the past, "Connecticotian” or “Connecticutensian” are worse. The Nutmeg State being one of Connecticut’s nicknames residents refer to themselves as Nutmeggers. The land of steady habits being another Connecticut nickname, I prefer” Connectikite” it sounding like a kind of fossil. New Hampshirites have more reasonable options, Hampshirian, Hampshirista or Hampshirine. Is someone from Tangiers a Tangerine? Granite Stater seems a bit awkward, but Graniteen sounds like a casserole. By far, the state with the worst problem must be Wyoming.
