Travel Inspired Boys Names…

[Dozyoldtwonk]

Sydney / Sidney?
Israel (I actually know someone with this name - he's really cool)
Dale (more a geography related name than a travel related name...)
Hudson (like the river)
Cairo

Any other Italian places that would make good names?

Cosmo always makes me think 'cosmopolitan', worldly and well-travelled (bit of a stretch, perhaps).

I once met a 5yr old (non Spanish) Santiago, thought that sounded lovely.

Luca's one of my favourite boys' names; would (double 'c') Lucca, after the beautiful Tuscan city, work?

Travel-inspired names aside, though, you're spoilt for choice with so many gorgeous Italian boys' names! Alessio, Domenico, Salvatore, Lorenzo, Paolo...

Milan
Roman
Dallas
Aspen
Sidney (or Sydney, then he could have nn Syd like Syd Barrett)
Darwin
Denver
Edmund (like Sir Edmund Hillary)
Atlas
Douglas (like Douglas Mawson)
Roald (like Roald Amundsen)

Bryson
Kerouac

Drake (Francis)
Edmund (Hillary)
Neil (Armstrong - bit far fetched?)
Robert/Falcon/Scott
Ernest/Shackleton
Attenborough

Jordan
Chad

Um, what about Lucca? It's a nice enough name and it's also a lovely city in Italy. Or, if you're feeling more adventurous, Otranto or Palermo?
