Place names that make good boys names

[candr]

I am not thinking of Paris, Brookyln etc but or DS is named after a small village in the north with a slight spelling change. Any interesting place names you think would work for a boy, don't have to be from this country but not one you need to pronounce with an accent. Awaiting with interest

Sorry more to come.

[Screaminabdabs]

Maggie, your MN name is magnificent in certain MN listings - all hills and valleys - up with the Ms and down with the ggs.

[LentilAsAnything]

cece, you are quite right! But MN namers don't like hyphenated first names!

[MaggieMaggieMaggieMcGill]

Rayleigh? Rowley? Royston? Selby? Shildon?Tadley? Thame?
I really like the concept and if I was going to have future children it is one I would employ.
Sadly, I'm not having more children so I am having my fun now.
I think there is a few good'uns in there, though in my head most seem to require a northern accent, for some strange reason!

[MaggieMaggieMaggieMcGill]

But where does it come from Screaming?
I will be amazed if you know!

[5madthings]

My dad is merry which is Cornish, it can be used as a boys name and is spelt Merin or merrin for a boy :)

[5madthings]

Not merry merryn bloody auto correct.

[MaggieMaggieMaggieMcGill]

Merryn is lovely, I think my fave in the ones I posted is Thame.

[5madthings]

Yes it us lovely, we visited the village merryn when we were on holiday this year, well we drove through it!

Thame makes me think of thane which is also a name but don't know if its a place?

I know a Durham. Though spelled differently due to indian descent.

[seeker]

So presumably you don't actually know a boy called Durham. You know a boy whose name, in one of the languages of the Indian sub- continent, sounds, to English speaking ears, a bit like Durham. Not quite the same thing!

[amck5700]

Thought of another - I've heard of a Merrick (name of a hill in Southern Scotland) It's a nice name but you may get the association with John Merrick.

[WineOhWhy]

James Cracknell has a son called Croyde

[Varya]

I think Warwick is a great name for a boy. Knew someone with the name once and thought it was very appropriate.

[rezzle]

Ayton
Carlton
Danby
Robin (Hood's Bay)
Linton
Dalton

They are just an odd selection of North Yorkshire villages so there may be something to take your fancy. To be honest, I would suggest just having a good look at a map to see if anything jumps out.

We started TTC in Canada and gave our 'imaginary' children a local place name. For the boy it was Revelstoke - nickname Revy! (Girl was Louise after Lake Louise)
Am now pregnant and the family are thinking that we might be serious as we still refer to Revy or Louise!

[OkayHazel]

Seeker - He changed it by deed poll from Dharam to Durham when he moved to England as he preferred the Anglicised version. So yes, I do know a Durham.

[PrunellaDeVille]

dunstan or leonard stanley - both real places and great boys names

[MotherOfNations]

I used to go to mother and toddlers with a woman who named her son Glasgow Mckenzie. It even made the local news.
