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.
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.
