to know why [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] and Avonlea are not more often used in naming since they are two wildly popular mythical kingdoms.

I also am not sure how to pronounce [name_f]Anne[/name_f] of [name_u]Green[/name_u] Gables’ town. I think of it as A-[name_m]VON[/name_m]-lee-a, but it is probably AV-on-lee.

The only ones from your list I find usable are [name_f]Virginia[/name_f] and [name_f]Geneva[/name_f]. But I love a lot of the others as GPs: [name_f]Andorra[/name_f] (on my own GP list), Avonlea (I’ve loved [name_f]Anne[/name_f] of [name_u]Green[/name_u] Gables forever), Anglia, [name_f]Scotia[/name_f], [name_f]Madeira[/name_f], [name_f]Majorca[/name_f], Arundel (but better for a boy), Antigua, [name_f]Argentina[/name_f].

[name_f]Geneva[/name_f] is my favorite.
But I also like [name_f]Andorra[/name_f] a lot!
And I like [name_m]Berlin[/name_m] as well.

I kinda like Avonlea too, not too fond of the others.

For clarification
I voted for the groups solely because they contained a name I deemed usable.
[name_f]Sahara[/name_f] is the only one in that set that I think is usable, ditto for Avonlea.
The others in the grouping are a definite no.
