Lafayette, where I was born, but I wouldn't be able to get past True Blood and the way sookie says "laugh-eye-et".</p> <p>As far as places we have lived or traveled to there are very few that would make good names. Maybe Lowell, but that's a stretch. I do like Charlotte, Virginia, and Georgia though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-name-your-baby-after-a-placelocation/page/2#post-1008971 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 21:35:33 +0000 megjay18 1008971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my son's middle name is lawrence, as in the university of kansas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-name-your-baby-after-a-placelocation/page/2#post-915608 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 12:30:52 +0000 BlueberryPie 915608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Georgia and Carolina (as in North Carolina) are on our short list for girls' names.
