Thoughts on Paris for a girl?

[missforrest]

Not sure if i would be brave enough, but what does everyone think? Thanks

Don't.

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.

No.

Just... no.

I think most people would think of Paris Hilton.

Not great for a boy or girl imo!

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

To me it is absolutely 100% a boys name.

I like it. Also like Karis.

Does anyone even know who Paris Hilton is anymore?

People will think the baby was conceived there.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Boys name
Tacky '90's nanes

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

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

No.

No.

@MrsMerryFestive don't stop at Cardiff. What about Bradford? Blackpool? Sunderland?

To be fair to OP, maybe she wants to keep it French. Maybe Lyon or Biarritz?

I think there's far better city names you could use instead.

Rome, Florence, Vienna, for example.

Paris is a bit Paris Hilton. She's not really a positive role model.

Sorry, don't like it for a girl or boy

As a city it's beautiful. As a name it comes just above Grimsby.

I do like the sound of it, but the fact that it's the name of the city which puts me off. Apparently London is also very popular for kids at the moment, in the USA, and of course to us Brits that sounds ridiculous. Parisiens might feel the same way.
