Berlin for a girls name!?

We are expecting twin girls in July and are obviously already stressing about names Shock OH likes Berlin for one but I'm not so sure... Is it a proper name? Is it a bit out there? Will it grow on me? We were thinking middle name Beatrix so I suppose she could use that....Thanks

how about Frankfurt an der Oder?

You will spend the rest of your lives being asked if she was conceived there - plus it's not a real name, it's the name of a city. If neither bother you, go for it.

Beatrix is much nicer

I think Beatrix is much nicer - can you use that as the first name?

Berliner means jam doughnut in German.
