Here's a naming of Missouri's districts:

MO-01: St. Louis Central
MO-02: St. Louis West
MO-03: Fulton
MO-04: Sedalia
MO-05: Kansas City
MO-06: North Missouri
MO-07: Springfield
MO-08: St. Francois

Unfortunate that Lake Of The Ozarks is split between two districts (3 and 4). It would make a good name.

I'll also do Utah, which is very difficult because the districts have odd shapes. Salt Lake City is split into three, for example, and in a way that is very geographically unintuitive. I've tried to use names of natural locations rather than population centers because of this.

UT-01: Cache
UT-02: Sevier
UT-03: Canyonlands
Ut-04: Wasatch

I'll throw in Kansas as well:

KS-01: no idea...maybe just "Kansas Plains" or something
KS-02: Topeka
KS-03: Wyandotte
KS-04: Wichita
