想歪了不是,这地名跟 “sex" 一点关系没有
NJ 还有 essex, sussex county
Middlesex 这些名应该是起源于英国殖民时期,复制英国的地名,然后英国那边是起源于: Middlesex county's name derives from its origin as the Middle Saxon Province of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Essex

我觉得像亚利桑那Organ Pipe 外面的小镇Why 名字也很好。比如你过关
海关:where do you come from? 你可以理直气壮地回答:Why!

可以把sex想成section,middlesex 就是middle section,middlesex county 应该是在nj的中部。
