My favourites are [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_u]Holland[/name_u] and [name_f]Alaska[/name_f]. Iā€™m not sure why, maybe itā€™s because they feel more ā€œnameyā€, but I feel okay using [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] and [name_f]Florence[/name_f] even though Iā€™ve never been to those places, but [name_u]Holland[/name_u] and [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] feel a little ā€œout of boundsā€ for me, if that makes sense? If Iā€™d been there or had a personal connection to the place then Iā€™d use them, but I donā€™t so I wonā€™t.

I also have some more local place names on my list that I wonā€™t mention for personal reasons but I love the idea of using the name of a local park or river for a childā€™s name.

I have [name_f]Florence[/name_f] on my list (as a middle name). I also like Kinvara, Eriska, [name_f]Iona[/name_f], [name_f]Odessa[/name_f], [name_f]Delphi[/name_f], [name_f]Verona[/name_f], [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] and [name_f]Geneva[/name_f].

I also like [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], [name_f]Carolina[/name_f], [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], [name_f]Sofia[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]ā€¦ But I tend to think of those as being given names first, and place names second.

No boyā€™s names though. Not sure why!

Aside from the namey ones like [name_f]Sofia[/name_f], [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] etc.

Alaska, [name_u]Dakota[/name_u], [name_f]Odessa[/name_f], Tirana, Nebraska, [name_f]India[/name_f], [name_u]Israel[/name_u], [name_f]Vienna[/name_f], [name_f]Siena[/name_f], [name_u]Nevada[/name_u], [name_f]Delphi[/name_f], [name_u]Kenya[/name_u], [name_f]Asia[/name_f], [name_f]Evora[/name_f], [name_u]Nairobi[/name_u], Tanzania, [name_f]Luanda[/name_f]

Would never use them, some of course for the reason that itā€™d be culturally insensitive and appropriative to do so but also because I wouldnā€™t dare generally.

I donā€™t really have too many that I like for girls. [name_f]My[/name_f] boys list of place names is much longer and cooler, imo.
