No.

No.

I think it's the name of a city, not a baby.

Might as well add Vienna and Berlin to the list.

What about Cardiff??

you did ask

Nice.
Makes me imagine a girl who is very pretty and self contained!

There was a girl called Paris who was a few years younger than me at school. Everyone used to laugh at her name.

I don't think it's terrible, but don't like the named after places names.

I don’t mind it for a boy but not keen on it for a girl.

Paris Jackson was my first thought, never made the Paris Hilton connection.

Funny was pondering same name myself and was going to start a thread last night! I think I love it?! But it's not my usual type of name.

LadyLovelace · 08/10/2017 23:11

And not a very nice boy as he started a war.

DramaAlpaca · 08/10/2017 23:10

People will think the baby was conceived there.

0to3SadOnions · 08/10/2017 23:10

I like it. Also like Karis.

Does anyone even know who Paris Hilton is anymore?

LadyLovelace · 08/10/2017 23:09

To me it is absolutely 100% a boys name.

yodelehoho · 08/10/2017 23:08

That's a NO from me. Awful. Cruelty to children.

Liadain · 08/10/2017 23:07

I think most people would think of Paris Hilton.

Not great for a boy or girl imo!

Fluffysparks · 08/10/2017 23:06

Just... no.

elQuintoConyo · 08/10/2017 23:05

No.

bridgetreilly · 08/10/2017 23:05

Traditionally, it's a boy's name. For girls, I'm afraid it's inextricably linked with Paris Hilton, which may not be the connection you want.

CoteDAzur · 08/10/2017 23:05

Don't.
