She says it's really pretty when said right but most people pronounce it like "floor" and she hates that, so she goes by her middle name. cupcakemama on "If you had to name your LO after a place, what name would you choose?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-name-your-lo-after-a-place-what-name-would-you-choose#post-27097 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 17:43:53 +0000 cupcakemama 27097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Elonwy: love those aussie places/names! unfortunetly the places special to dh and I aren't good for names -san francisco, seattle, boston!

Oh or Tasman. Adelaide because I was born there, Sydney because I live there, Victoria because I've never been but want to, Tasman because it's a family name. chopsuey on "If you had to name your LO after a place, what name would you choose?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-name-your-lo-after-a-place-what-name-would-you-choose#post-27067 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 16:23:21 +0000 chopsuey 27067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We were thinking of Warner for a boy since hubs and I met in Warner Robins, GA. heffalump on "If you had to name your LO after a place, what name would you choose?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-name-your-lo-after-a-place-what-name-would-you-choose#post-27066 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 16:21:08 +0000 heffalump 27066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'd probably go with where she was concieved.

We gave her an Italian middle name instead. I think Venice would have worked if there was never a Paris Hilton...or one in CA.

I also like the name Cheyenne. DH and I don't have any good place names that we have been together. We live on Dolphin, which I don't think is the best name for a kid! oliviaoblivia on "If you had to name your LO after a place, what name would you choose?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-name-your-lo-after-a-place-what-name-would-you-choose#post-26940 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 12:12:38 +0000 oliviaoblivia 26940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @MRSJAZZ: Nola is our dog (my avatar). DH and I decided that we wanted to get married (someday) when we were visiting New Orleans. Yeah, I don't have kids yet so I talk about my dog. haha. I'm totally down with place names, but only if they sound like name names. I'm not planning on having a daughter named Hoboken any time soon.

Their last name was Rock. If I were to name a kiddo after a place, I'd consider Morgan (we lived in Morgan Hill for a while) or Ellis (road we lived on). For places unconnected to us, maybe Houston, Hope, Helena, Loire, Sicily, Bandon, or Geneva would work. mrsjyw on "If you had to name your LO after a place, what name would you choose?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-name-your-lo-after-a-place-what-name-would-you-choose#post-26921 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 11:36:33 +0000 mrsjyw 26921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Charlotte, Troy, Mason, Savannah AmeliaBedelia on "If you had to name your LO after a place, what name would you choose?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-name-your-lo-after-a-place-what-name-would-you-choose#post-26917 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 11:14:07 +0000 AmeliaBedelia 26917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @blushink: Calais? Yep it's a region there. I studied french for a total of 6 years so I thought it was cool. There are quite a few french places that could make pretty names, I'm just too lazy to double check.

And I've considered variants of Marilyn (my grandma's name.) I like the idea of Calais. Tucson (with a nickname of Tuck) doesn't sound too bad... for someone else. I guess I just don't care for place names. runsyellowlites on "If you had to name your LO after a place, what name would you choose?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-name-your-lo-after-a-place-what-name-would-you-choose#post-26907 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 10:13:08 +0000 runsyellowlites 26907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I grew up in Austin which definitely works for a boys name & DH & I met & currently live in Victoria which works for a girls name...

Heath is my husband's middle name and his paternal grandmother's maiden name. Although I don't LOVE the name Heath, we've definitely considered it for a future boy because of the significance. I have friends who have picked out the name Hudson for a boy because the first house they bought was on Hudson Street. I think that's so sweet! However, I can't steal that idea because our street name is Churchill and we are sooo not naming our kid that. :) Mrs. Sunglasses on "If you had to name your LO after a place, what name would you choose?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-name-your-lo-after-a-place-what-name-would-you-choose#post-26853 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 08:48:09 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 26853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @AmeliaBedelia: that's my street name.

Her little sister was named Milan. Also liked that. Knew a guy growing up named Montana. Had a teacher name her kids Austin and Denver I think. Maybe not Denver. Austin and something else like that. Lol If it had to be special to us... Georgia, though I don't love it as a name. FI says Bristol and Charlotte.

I used to live in London and it never occurred to me to use it as a name but I think it is super cute now that I know a baby London! My hubby and I loved traveling to Italy and France. Some good possibilities there I'm sure. Hmmmm, he proposed to me close to Florence, but that just makes me think of Nightingale ... mrbee on "If you had to name your LO after a place, what name would you choose?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-to-name-your-lo-after-a-place-what-name-would-you-choose#post-26675 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 22:43:52 +0000 mrbee 26675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @tana_bk: Isn't that where ESPN is based?
