Where do the girls' names come from?

In Zombieland the four main characters are Columbus, Tallahassee, Wichita and Little Rock. It's my understanding that the first two are named because that's where they're trying to get to.

The pair introduce themselves via where they're from

Where are you headed? Columbus.

You? Tallahassee.

Later Tallahassee refuses to give his name

What's your name?

Stop, no names. Keeps us from getting too familiar

However we're never given a reason behind the names of the two sisters. Throughout the whole film Little Rock and Wichita want to go to a theme park yet this doesn't seem to reflected in either of their names?

Best Answer

From Zombieland Wikipedia page-

The main characters do not use each other's real names, but identify themselves using place names (Columbus, Tallahassee, Wichita, Little Rock) that relate to them. This includes Columbus's neighbor, named 406 after her room, and his fictional sexual conquest "Beverly Hills", as well as Sister Cynthia Knickerbocker, whom Columbus identifies as a "Zombie Kill of the Week" winner, and whose surname is actually an obsolete term for a citizen or inhabitant of New York City. There is one exception in Bill Murray playing himself. At the end of the film, Wichita tells Columbus that her real name is Krista.

So, it means that character names are not based on their desired destination but to their related places. May be birth place or the city they used to live in. Both the sisters doesn't give any detail about their birth place. So all are assumptions at the moment.
