Just a fun thread! what's your favourite name after a country or city?

mine would most likely be Florence, Dallas, Dakota or Adelaide for a little girl 💕

or..

Mason, Hudson, Orlando or Phoenix for a little boy 💙

But which came first place name or person name?

E.g. Orlando was a person name first (was in Shakespeare).
Ditto Adelaide.

Names after places: Frances/Francis/Francesca.

Siena and India for girls
Oslo for a boy

Revelstoke or Rev for short!

I've always loved India

Not as keen on Paris or Brooklyn

Preston always makes me laugh

Brilliant - they could never visit - they'd be so disappointed!!

I quite like Firenze for a boy. Good job I'm not planning any more children, as I don't think he would thank me for it.

My eldest is named after an Island.

GloomAndDoom · 28/09/2021 19:22

Chelsea. Don't think that counts sorry.
Or Alberta

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 28/09/2021 19:23

I also like the boy names of Harris & Lewis... but don't think they would make a good sibling pair.

Happenchance · 28/09/2021 19:31

Though obviously that's a continent.

ISpyCobraKai · 28/09/2021 19:33

North-Korea is my favourite.

I'm also a big fan of K2.
