City names

[mermaid-feet.livejournal.com]

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.

I like some city names (particularly Brooklyn, and Florence). I wouldn't name my child after a city because that does seem silly (I can't imagine my child saying, "My name is Berkeley, because that is city where my mom went to school."), but I wouldn't discount a name simply because it also a name of a city. Cities are named the same way many people name their children; the name is just supposed to sound pleasing, in general.
