Town/City names

General Name Discussion

So I’ve been on a quest to find unusual names. I went down the rabbit hole by googling “small-town names in Europe” (sooo so many towns). I got quite a selection and I wanted to share some with you guys. Get your thoughts on if these are plausible as baby names?

Boys (I view these as possible boy names but many of them have a unisex feel)

[name_f]Arney[/name_f]
Bovey
[name_m]Bromley[/name_m]
Colmar
[name_m]Dover[/name_m]
Ebbs
Emmen
Eremiya
Finvoy
Grimsey
Hounslow
[name_m]Ives[/name_m]
Jardin
Kherson
Lerik
[name_m]Lewes[/name_m]
Malchin (mal-kin)
Nivar
Odry
Olt
[name_m]Royston[/name_m]
[name_m]Saxen[/name_m]
Seeland
Shepton
Tadley
[name_m]Tux[/name_m]

Zeven

Girls (I view these as possible girl names but some of them have a unisex feel)

Ardisa
Bonn
Clovelly
Deblin
Delnice
Derrylin
Edessa
Emona
Galata
[name_f]Hella[/name_f]

Odda
Ossett
[name_m]Penryn[/name_m]
Rumelia

Stara
Temerin

I could see most of them work!
I especially like [name_f]Arney[/name_f], Colmar, Eremiya (on a girl), Nivar (:vulcan_salute: ), Tadley, [name_m]Tux[/name_m] (:penguin: ), Ardisa, Edessa, Emona, Galata, Juneda, Mirny, Rumelia, Vinitsa and Zodeia.

I also want to add [name_m]Turin[/name_m], [name_u]Milan[/name_u], Malaga, [name_f]Jena[/name_f], [name_f]Gera[/name_f], Brixen… maybe Rostock too?

Halifax is my city and it’s on NB :joy:
And my grandparents live in Megara, Greece which is also on NB, I could particularly see it used on a boy
