HelpRe: The worst name you have seen on a real person.
in reply to a message by Elliedabear
What's wrong with London? Place names are beautiful (Paris, Adelaide, Charlotte, Victoria...) And anyway, those cities are named after bearers of the name, not the other way around.
My dad told me that when he worked at a convenience store in his early 20's, an older woman requested the *freshest* pack of Marlboro cigarettes and her name was (drum roll, please) *Nutritious Love.* So he goes to get the cigarettes, peels off the label, and tells her, "These are so fresh they haven't even put the label on yet." Then as soon as she left, he just laughed with his regular customers about it.

I admit that some place names are nice but if the child goes to one of those places in real life they will get teased a lot. Also, I live in the UK and I'm glad to say that nobody is dumb enough to name their child London (I met the person with that name outside my country). I generally don't mind place names like Charlotte or Victoria (and yes, they're nice. Charlotte is on my PNL) but names like Paris and London are just tacky and weird, since they are more associated with the places.
