What do you think of "place names?"
What are some place names you can think of?
I don't think I would use half of these but this is the list I came up with:

Austin
Destin(my home town)
Montana
Virginia
Georgia
Paris
London
Sistine(my mom loves this one)
Sicily
India
Austria
Vienna
Caspian
Dublin
Rome
Boston
Hampton

I think place names are often very pretty, and have very striking connotations, but there are few I would actually use on a child. Georgia and Carolina are the only ones that comes to mind at the moment.

One of my name books lists Indiana. I lived there for years and loved it there, and it would make a nice name, but it's definitely not for me. Or...children I name, as the case may be.
