Today I was sitting in McDonald's parking lot and a woman called out to her daughter.

The daughters name?

Havana

Opinions?

It's pretty but other than the being the capital of Cuba it's also a type of tobacco/cigar and that's kinda weird to me.

Loathe it. It's right up there with Asia, Georgia, Savannah, and all those other geographic names.

I even know a China. She's a little girl adopted from...China. I was horrified. Her parents thought it was cute; I don't think they realized the possible implications until later.

Wow. China's really bad.


As for Havana, I find it rather trashy. And a little weird, given the expression "smoke a Havana" etc. Not to mention the whole embargo thing.

I know a girl named China, shes about 14 or 15 now, and as far as i know her nor her parents have any connection to China. At first i HATED it, and although i don't particularly love it now, i have grown to like it a little bit. Although i would never ever name a child that.

I like it. Havana is a beautiful city, and I find Savannah pretty also but overused.
