What's your favorite place names?

General Name Discussion

I’m not adding place names to me list, but in light of all the threads about names people like that might not be popular on Nameberry, I started thinking about names I like that might not fit on Nameberry. Some of them are place names, though I generally don’t like place names without special meaning. I also know that there are plenty of berries who don’t like place names. I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Alexandria[/name] :slight_smile: I actually like a lot of place names, i just wouldn’t use them unless they had special meaning to me. Here’s some place names I like:

[name]Aragon[/name]
[name]Arcadia[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name]
[name]Caspian[/name]
[name]Cyprus[/name]
[name]Delphi[/name]
[name]Dakota[/name] – either
[name]Grayling[/name] (place in Alaska – seems trendy but I like it)
[name]Kiana[/name] (place in Alaska)
[name]Odessa[/name] (Ukraine)
[name]Olympia[/name]
[name]Persia[/name]
[name]Salem[/name]
[name]Sylvania[/name] (place in [name]Georgia[/name])
[name]Valencia[/name] (Spain)
[name]Xenia[/name] (place in Ohio)

So even though place names aren’t the thing around here on Nameberry, what place names do you like?

I love [name]Milan[/name], [name]London[/name], [name]Paris[/name], [name]Sydney[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Brooklyn[/name], and maybe [name]Regina[/name] (pronounced re-jean-a) not like the place (re-jye-nah), and Victoria Geneva and Vienna are gorgeous! Kingston is amazing on a little boy, London is ok.

I like: [name]India[/name], [name]London[/name], [name]Vienna[/name], [name]Florence[/name], [name]Berlin[/name], [name]Darwin[/name].

(Probably wouldn’t use them though!)

oo I love [name]Milan[/name] and [name]Florence[/name] :slight_smile:

I wouldn’t use any of mine either. If I were to pick a place name to actually use, it’d be Athens or something related to Athens.

Isn’t it strange that most people like most place names on girls? i like [name]London[/name] on a boy but i don’t know many others who do :stuck_out_tongue:

My Mom suggested the name for my brother’s child (thought it would be a boy, but we got a little girl). At first I didn’t like it but it’s grown on me. I think it sounds more masculine than [name]Landon[/name] so not sure why it’s considered feminine. Mom also suggested [name]Eden[/name] for a boy. Thought she was crazy at first but I love it now

11

[name]Hi[/name] Dantea, from your list, I love [name]Caspian[/name], [name]Grayling[/name] (alas it’s also the name of a fish) and [name]Odessa[/name]. I love [name]Geneva[/name], [name]Florence[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Carolina[/name], [name]Virginia[/name] and [name]Adelaide[/name]. If it didn’t have such a trendy sound, Normandy/Normandie would be quite nice too.

I love [name]Delphi[/name] for a girl and [name]Paris[/name] for a boy… yes a boy… as it is a male name in Greek Mythology.

I like a lot of things you guys lists :slight_smile: I like [name]Paris[/name] well enough on a boy (and am aware of the Greek connection :stuck_out_tongue: ) but think it’s too girly right now.

I agree completely about [name]London[/name] having such masculine sounds! I met a boy [name]London[/name] once and was hooked.

@Svea – i guess [name]Elysia[/name] could count since it’s a diminutive of Elysium which is a place but only if it’s said the proper Greek way ee-lee-seuh :stuck_out_tongue:
