Ds who is 11 just said he’d like to name a girl a flower name (lilac is his preference) and a boy a city/place name as his is. I can only think of DS’s name and Paris and Brooklyn. I’m sure there are more though?!

I know a Cairo. I'm sure there was a guy on Britain's Got talent a few years ago called Tokyo?

Jordan is another one.

And of course some Scottish islands... Arran, Lewis and Harris
