Brisbane suburb names

[krosp.livejournal.com]

I live in Brisbane, Australia and every now and then I think of a suburb and think that somebody somewhere would probably use that as a name lol.. but because I only know it as a place name it is hard to know if it would work as a name or not.

I don't actually like place names or surname names but I'm sure someone would use some of these... just as a bit of fun, which of these can you see someone actually using as a name?

Albion
Alderley
Annerley
Arana
Ascot
Aspley
Bardon
Brighton
Carina
Chandler
Darra
Everton
Hamilton
Inala
Karana
Kedron
Macgregor
Mackenzie
Milton
Newstead
Oxley
Sherwood
Stafford
Sumner
Tennyson
Wavell
Wilston
Windsor
Wishart

I'd use Brighton and Carina (just with a K), I like Chandler and Mackenzie and I think Darra could work.

I don't think I'd bestow Inala on a child though. That's just begging for trouble. :)

lol but someone elsewhere could!

True, true, but I'd still laugh.

I can definitely see Chandler (because of Friends), Carina and Milton (because...well..they're names!) and Mackenzie (because it's already all over the place). As for the rest, I kind of like Annerley and Sherwoodmyself.

I could also see Tennyston and Wilston, although the former would sound a little pretentious.

*Tennyson. No 't' there =).

Haha, I couldn't use Inala without thinking of the suburb.

I've actually seen a few girls named Chandler. Some of these are really cool! I like Tennyson, Carina, Brighton, and Darra.
