Paris?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m],
do you like the name [name_u]Paris[/name_u]?

Thank You.

Not really, because I don’t tend to like place names in general. But if [name_u]Paris[/name_u] has a special significance to your family, it’s certainly a lovely city to be named after!

It’s more of a pet name for me but it is a guilty pleasure of mine.

On a boy, sure, because [name_u]Paris[/name_u] was originally a male name, although the most famous male [name_u]Paris[/name_u] is maybe not the greatest namesake.
On a girl, meh, it feels a little tacky. I’ll blame [name_u]Paris[/name_u] [name_m]Hilton[/name_m] for that.

It reminds me too much of [name_u]Paris[/name_u] [name_m]Hilton[/name_m] and just feels a bit too much as a name.

For a boy and even then, not then.

What about [name_f]Parisa[/name_f]?

Unfortunately all I think of is [name_u]Paris[/name_u] [name_m]Hilton[/name_m]

There is nothing wrong with the name [name_u]Paris[/name_u]. I know a few women named [name_u]Paris[/name_u] and they are all fine people.

I think it’s a lovely option for a middle name :slight_smile:

To me it screams [name_m]Hilton[/name_m].

No, while not a fan of Place names…[name_u]Paris[/name_u] seems a bit tacky and uber-pretentious. And, besides, the [name_u]Paris[/name_u] [name_m]Hilton[/name_m] connection…ugh!

I only think of [name_m]Hilton[/name_m] and wouldn’t use it as a first name for that reason. It would be fine as a middle name.

[name_u]Paris[/name_u] has a pretty sound but unfortunately I do think of [name_u]Paris[/name_u] [name_m]Hilton[/name_m]. I had never heard of the pps’ suggestions of [name_f]Parisa[/name_f], but that’s also very pretty if you like the sound of [name_u]Paris[/name_u]. If it’s not the sound that is your biggest attachment to the name but that it’s a special place to you, maybe…

Good luck! :slight_smile:

I like it. I do think of [name_u]Paris[/name_u] [name_m]Hilton[/name_m], but think that that image would be quickly replaced if I met an adorable little [name_u]Paris[/name_u]. [name_u]Paris[/name_u] [name_m]Jackson[/name_m] wears it well.
