Names after places

[OscarLove]

Imagine if we all had to name our babies after places a la Brooklyn , Preston and Paris. Thankfully, we don't have to name them such silly names, but if we did, what would yours be? If the place is unusual, tell us where it is please!

Mine would be Darlington. Darling for short, of course!!! [pass the sick emoticon!]

Colchester - Cole or chester for short :)

Girls - India, Asia, Africa, Brazil, Kenya, London, Skye, Devon

Boys - Durham, Chester, Paris, Preston, Milan

Could live with any of those if I had to.

Madison
Florence
Paris

Iona

We have an Iona and if she had a boy we liked Devon, when DS arrived we thought 2 'place' names was a bit much so he is Alex! lol

Haselbury Plucknett - I think it's near Bristol Palin

Mortlake
Putney
Winnersh

Would Mississippi count?

Wouldn't work for a boy though!

Sofia
Tallinn
Arundel

Actually I think some of these are quite naice!

if naming after place of conception it would be harley (IVF on harley street)

I have a Houston.(He loves it when people say they have a problem.)
It's a Wombles tradition.

Scottish placenames.
Boys - Lewis, Keith, Ross, Harris, Lorne, Arran, Angus.
Girls - Skye, Iona.

DD1 would be Edinburgh (Edin maybe for everyday use)
DS1 and DS2 (twins ) Inverness, being twins one would have to be Inver and the other Ness

Strange but not completely implausible!

kingston - would've worked if a boy, but is a girl, so jamaica would work better,although she might possibly have been made in Negril, I'm not too sure.

dd2 would be less exotic, I don't think Cheltenham is a valid name so maybe Chelty???

When I was younger I wanted to call my children after American states.

I like Hawaii and Nevada for a boy.

And Arizona for a girl!

I still like Arizona!

If I named mine after where they were concieved, they would be Dublin and Cahirciveen.
