India and
Asia sound pretty but generally come across as shallow (the name choices, not the people themselves) when I've seen them used. They're kitschy.
I'd say the same of
America and
Cheyenne and
Ireland.
They also remind me uncomfortably of colonialism, imperialism, nationalism. Plus, it seems vaguely sexist to me that place names are so often considered feminine.
Maria seems traditional, pragmatic, chic, ageless. It makes me think of music, candles, stained glass, earth tones, black.
