[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all!
I was reading through my list today, when I realized that three (kind of four) of my top girl names are actually cities/places:
[name_f]Odessa[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f], & [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] (and [name_f]Kinneret[/name_f], if it can be counted)
So I wanted to know: what are your favorite place names? Countries, continents, cities, states, municipalities, provinces, anything goes!!
I love [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] (although I recently heard it called ‘murder capital of australia’, which is offputting), [name_f]Siena[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Vienna[/name_f], although to be fair [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] were names before they were places. I’ve been crushing on [name_f]Carolina[/name_f] recently, and I was really excited to meet a young woman named [name_f]Geneva[/name_f].
