City names

What do you think of city names for people?

A few I've heard are:

Brooklyn
Berlin
Seattle
Winona
Paris
Florence

I don't really like any of those, but I kind of like the idea, especially if there's some sort of meaning attached.

Seeing as most cities were named after people, I don't have a problem with it. Some of them just sound dumb, but some can be lovely.

From your list, I like Berlin and Florence.

Meant to say, growing up we named a lot of our pets after where we lived when we got them, or something associated with where we found them. My daughter's middle name was Sherman, after my female cat, who was named after Sherman, TX which was named for General Sherman.

We also had a Columbus (OH) and a C.C.(Copy Cat, after the generic Kinko's where we got her). Our siamese's middle name is Asmodeus, after a Judaic demon-- we found him outside of a synagogue.
