What do folks of regions call themselves?

[Dogbrain]

After discovering, to my dismay, that people from Iowa seem to actually be willing to put up with being called "Iowans", I started to wonder what folks from the various states of the USA and sub-regions of other countries preferred to be called. So, what are the names? Remember, these are what we call ourselves, not what we call the folks "over there". If the name is only used by students or atheletes at a university or college, it doesn't count. (So "wolverine" is disqualified for Michigan). The "State nickname" does not count, either.

California: Californian
Idaho: Idahoan
Illinois: Sucker (archaic?)
Indiana: Hoosier
Iowa: Iowan
Michigan (Mitten): Michigander
Michigan (Upper): Yooper
New York: New Yorker
North Carolina: Tar Heel
Ohio: Buckeye
Virginia: Virginian
Oklahoma: Okie
Texas: Texan (archaic: Texian)

Please help fill up the list.

Virginia: Dominionite?

I've lived in Virginia for 5 years, and have never heard that before. I'd go with Virginian.

Before that, I lived my entire life in New York. One a New Yorker, always a New Yorker.

I used to be a Californian. I guess that's what they like.

Now I'm an Idahoan. I think that's the prefered around here.

I prefer Spud.

Well I am from Iowa and we have no issue what so ever with Iowan...

I did live in Minnesota... we were Minnasotian's.

When I lived in South Dakota, i think it was South Dakotans.... and
the small amount of time I lived in Wisconson, I think that it was Wisconson-ite.

I moved in the midwest alot.. so I suppose you could call me a midwestern...
