Alternatives for Memphis

I really love Memphis for a baby boy, but I already have a daughter whose name starts with ‘M’ and was hoping not to repeat initials. So… does anyone have any Memphis-like names they can suggest? Thanks in advance!

[name_u]Memphis[/name_u] is a nice name but I get a big southern USA/cowboy name vibe.

Is there something you could use with the city/state that could also work? I’m not from the USA but elvis and country music are from [name_u]Memphis[/name_u] right?

I also think the singer BONO from U2 has a [name_u]Memphis[/name_u] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] and another M child. Don’t let that put you off a favourable name!

[name_u]Brooks[/name_u]
[name_u]Roscoe[/name_u]
[name_u]Hudson[/name_u]
[name_u]Camden[/name_u]
[name_u]Raleigh[/name_u]
[name_u]Dallas[/name_u]
[name_u]Jackson[/name_u]
[name_u]Cooper[/name_u]
[name_u]Brighton[/name_u]
[name_u]Monroe[/name_u]

To me I think [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] automatically as a name that has both American and ancient world connotations and is unusual but immediately familiar.
