Place Names?

[JamieLeeCurtis]

I always thought

Wilsden for a boy

and

Dollis-Hill for a girl (Londoner)

You?

Oh the shame! Have spelled it wrong. It's Willesden!

Willy for short, of course.

and Dolly

What about Paris or Brooklyn?

Paris is a real boy's name from Greek mythology...

Yes, Paris is rather cool. Was Paris named after Paris, I wonder ?

Anyone heard of anyone named after a place?

Good point AllieW. Or a spoilt girl's name from a hotel family.

Devon or Eden?

India
Sydney
Georgia

You're after sillier ones than that aren't you?

yes, I am really

Wasn't Cully in Midsomer Murders meant to be named after somewhere in France?

I used to know someone called Bedford

I quite like Devon for a boy, and Eden for a girl.

It's a bit old fashioned now but I know a male and a female Beverley.

Poor thing. Sincerely hope it was a bloke, though, would be harder for a girl to carry it off, I think!

Sorry I hadn't realised you wanted silly ones.

Perhaps conceived in the back of a Bedford Van on the way to Bedford?

Doncaster (Don for short)
High Barnet (suitable only for tall people)
Hoo - (place in Kent) - suitable for confused people or Doctors

If I were to go by where" DD 1 was conceived then she would be "Homerton"....which is a little better than Hackney Central.

DD2 would be "Camberwell Green" which is better than both.

I went to a tube station fancy dress once - High Barnet (beehive hairdo) was one of my favourites

Lechlade (in Glos) - for slightly creepy people
Leek (Staff) - if they have a bladder problem

Yes, I think Homerton fits the sort of surname -as -first-name aesthetic which is popular ATM. And of course, it conjurers up the image of pure class ...

Oh - I've just been told there is place in Surrey called Titsey - Jordan could use that for one of her offspring maybe

yy Titsey - cute

or Vange
