I never thought of it as old-fashioned, but I guess it is. It's one of my favorite names ending with -land. The Cleve part isn't nice by itself, as it reminds me of Cleavage (which is a surname, but has come into modern usage as 'breasts'). I don't think that a kid called Cleveland would be picked on for it though, and you don't have to live in Ohio to use it. It's not just a place name. It's a surname, and it hasn't gotten snatched up by the surnames-as-first-names trend yet. Perfect. :D.

If you used that where I lived, it would not be taken seriously, given how close the city is. I mean I get Sofia and Florence, but Cleveland?

City names are plain weird. What if the guy hates the place when he's older? What if you have to move and the kid has to live in a place where people hate the city? Besides, this name is old-fashioned big time.

... and of course the main reason Cleveland is used as a given name in the USA is precisely because of President Grover Cleveland. [noted -ed]
