DP/STAR names

I think I know where the majority of the ATL STAR and DP names come from (BRAVS Five, GEETK 5, THRSR, UGAAA TWO, JCKTS 5 etc are Braves, Thrashers, UGA and Yellow Jackets references). But how about these:

NOVVS 3?
RMBLN 5?
MUNSN 4?C
CADIT 5?
NUGGT 4?

I'm assuming there's some Georgia references behind these, but not being a local I'm too dense to know them :) Any help?

If anyone else has any obscure STAR/DP naming trivia for other airports , step right up!

Both seem right to me. Any others? I wonder if all airports name their DPs/STARs with meaningful intersections. It seems like a lot of the RNAV procedures have special meanings relevant to the city/state.

NUGGT probably refers to its routing over Dahlonega, GA ... site of America's first gold rush.
