Place names?
| Sat, 09-03-2005 - 3:23pm |
I'm just wondering what everyone thinks about place names for children, such as Paris, London, Brooklyn, Ireland, Dallas, Savannah, Aspen, etc. Are there some you like better than others? Do they sounds better on girls or boys?
I'm not pregnant yet, but there are some location names I would definitely consider, and I wanted to get opinions on this...
TIA!
ETA to fix spelling and to add that I'm not necessarily looking for more name suggestions (but I'd love to see what you've got in mind), but wondering how people react to place names for children, i.e. like them for boys or girls, only like them on girls, etc.

I love place names, within reason of course!!
My daughter's middle name is Elizabeth...actually after Elizabeth, Mississippi!! She kicked the atlas when I was pg to pick her name!! Good thing she didn't kick the town Kosciusko or something like that!!!
I also seriously considered her first name to be Providence, but there wouldn't be any good nicknames. I love names for boys like London, Boston, etc. And I think Aspen is cute for a girl.
I couple in my town recently named a little girl Avalon after a town in California!
Anyway, I like somewhat unique names, and names that are actually familiar words are great!
Just my 2 cents!

Let's see. I know an Ireland (g), Montana (g), Brooklyn (g), Madison (b). Britney Spears is thinking of naming her boy London, but to me London is more a girl's name - I guess b/c a girl on my Expecting board named her daughter London.
I'm not big on place names. *However* I know a little girl named Vienna and I think that that is a beautiful girly sounding name. I really like that. The parents met in Vienna.
Hope
