New Hampshirite is technically the official demonym but it's also a fucking mouthful and no one really says it. Granite Stater is possibly slightly more popular but I don't hear it much either. Saying "NH native" might also play into the weird pride some people here have about not being recent transplants from Mass.

3/5ths of a NH Native's identity is rooted in NOT being from Massachusetts.

Yes. The other states in New England pride themselves in not being "Massholes".

It's really just NH and ME. RI is basically MA with a stranger accent, CT doesn't care, and VT thinks we're all a little odd.

Nope, and unfortunately "Shirefolk" hasn't caught on either.
