I was watching LA Ink tonight and a woman came in and got a tattoo of her daughters names on her chest: Raven and Berlin.

I just want to know what everyone here thinks of Berlin?

I actually kind of like it.

Ahh, I was watching LA Ink too and going on about how badass that name is! I actually like it, but I don't think I'd use it.

My friends boyfriend is Berlin, and it suits him very well.

It's my best friend's name, so I love it simply because of that. :D It's not really my style so without her I probably wouldn't be too fond of it, but since it's her name I think it's fantastic. Fits her very well, too.

I think it's awesome, quite honestly. I don't know if I would ever use it, but it's awesome.

I actually like it, for either gender.

I don't like it. I have nothing against using place names as names, unless they are screaming 'IT'S A CITY!' to me. And that's exactly what Berlin does. For me, it's too much of a place name to ever see it as a person's name.

Berlin is better than Raven, but they're both kind of "out there" to me.

It makes me think of the band Anberlin, even before I think of the city. Weird, I know.

My doggie is named Berlin! She's a dachshund, of course. *see icon*

Oh my god, I was totally thinking about this community when she came in. I don't like it though; I was thinking how well her kids' names fit her former goth lifestyle. Particularly Raven, but I don't think Berlin's that great, either.

Berlin isn't so bad as far as place names go. It's kind of a guilty pleasure :)

I actually wanted to use Berlin as a middle name at one point. Dominic Berlin was the plan. So needless to say, I like it.

I normally love city names but...echh. No.

I like it but since I have no connection to Germany at all except possibly like some distant ancestry I wouldn't ever use it.

it depends on how its pronounced.

if its pronounced like merlin... with the stress on the first syllable, then it gets a big fat NO

pronounced like the city, i like it

Berlin, NH is pronounced "BER-lin"... or that's how I hear everyone 'round here saying it.

I wouldn't use it myself, but I liked the combo!
