I don't think people should use a place name if they haven't been to that place, mostly because I've been places I thought I would like and I ended up not liking them. Imagine naming your kid, for example, India and then you go to India and you hate the dirt, the chaos, the heat more than the ideal of India you initially thought of and now you can't unthink your feeling.
Its sort of like giving your kid the name of someone famous. I would never give my a name so closely associated and/or only associated with a celebrity. Why? What if they come out as a pedophile, murderer, criminal of some sort? Your child's name will carry around all that baggage until someone else makes the name famous and erasees the previous baggage.
