Place names?

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

Inspired by a recent post... what do you think of place named when you're not from the place or have no heritage there... like for example Ireland. I am not Irish, directly or have any past heritage from there... but I may love the name and the place, the culture, the people. Same with people naming their children Asia and having no heritage there. Yay, Nay? what say you?

I'm mostly Belgian, but what makes a "Belgian" name? I don't know.

I'm very picky about names, so for me, it all boils down to "Do I like the name?" If I like it and it happens to be a place name, whatever. If I don't like it's and it's a place name, then I hate it.
