LondonThere was a really nice girl in my graduating class named London, so I have a good association. It also just sounds way more down-to-earth to me than prissy, stuck-up Paris.

ParisI don't like either name, though.

London! It has more usable nicknames like Lonnie, Donnie, and Donna! Paris is a little short and whiny compared to London!

ParisThough I'm not a fan of either. They remind me too much of people from very fancy families (such as Paris Hilton etc.).London reminds me of a person from the red-light milieu.

LondonParis is too masculine to me. So I choose London.

ParisI think Paris has a much more pleasant sound. The -dun sounds at the end of London I just not feminine to me. I wish I didn't know about Paris Hilton, I maybe actually like Paris if not for her.

Paris! Maybe because I live in London I can't take it seriously as a name. And also for a girl it sounds too harsh. Paris has a nicer sound and seems more exotic to me.I'd never use Paris but it's a bit of a GP and I can see why it does appeal to people. I liked it when I was a teenager!

Grudgingly ParisThey're both tacky. Paris just sounds a little nicer.

Ditto.

I'm going to go London. Paris is okay as a name but it gives me an image of a girl who turns her nose up at everything and everyone. London is less well-known as a name but she'd be a quiet, likeable, interesting sort of a girl.

London.Paris just sounds so cheap. Maybe it's because of Paris Hilton. Then again, I knew a Mormon girl named Paris who was timid and shy, so I don't know. I just prefer London.

London. Paris Hilton, need I say more?

I'm not a fan of either, but I am definitely going with London. Paris on a girl just makes me think of Paris Hilton.

Hmmm. I'm surprising myself here and will go with London. Paris is too tied to Paris Hilton for me (I was right in the generation of 'The Simple Life' and Paris everywhere on everything) and also the image of Paris is all romantic and too loaded for me. London is not a name I'd EVER use and would actively discourage someone I knew from using it but I really do like the city (I like Paris too) and I have some very special memories in London. It's also a strong name and I like strong names on girls.

Paris, it just has a softer, prettier sound.

ParisI've actually known a few of each but prefer Paris. I also like Parris, for a boy.

Eww, neither. But OK, Paris.
(I love both cities, but not as names...)

ParisLondon isn't a great name to call out, you know? The schwas and nasals make it fall very flat.Paris is easier, and more name-y in general. I prefer Paris for a boy though, I think.

Paris has just been a first name so much longer, so it seems like one. London seems like a flash in the pan - it's already going out of style. Paris Hilton may be tacky, but I'd much rather answer to "Paris" than "London."
My first hairdresser was named Paris and I was totally impressed (I was 8).Names rated similarly to London: Addison, Channing, Presley, Tatum, Sloane, Alexus
Names rated similarly to Paris: Tiffiny, Princess, Brandie, Chanelle, Jayde, Maddison
Well, I like Brandy ... ? And Tiffany. I like Paris too.
If Londyn were an old familiar first name for girls, I would probably like the sound and look of it. But alas, it's not at all.
