I like the North Star name a little bit. Yes, it is MN's motto but no one truly pays attention to that (may some old timers ) It is a pretty cool nickname that is currently not used.
I know some other GF people are warming up to it however North Dakota is still a strong first. In full disclosure, I do not like the RR idea as our local high school has had that for a long time now, however, if that was chosen it wouldn't be the end of the world for me. I just like ND and NS slightly more.
