What do you think of place names? Some names like
Brooklyn,
Sydney, and
Austin are so popular they're barely even associated with the places anymore. But there are some like
India, Rome,
America,
Asia, Melbourne, etc. that are more associated with places.
Do parents have to be from the place (or have heritage from it) for it to be a usable name for them? Do you think people should name their kids after places if they've never actually been there? What do you think are acceptable place names, and which ones are less usable?
