    Savannah is on our list, we also have thrown around Mari (Mariposa)

    For a boy we were discussing Elden (a mountain in the Flagstaff area).

    Judah for a boy and Vienna for a girl - neither currently on our list but I could live with them

    Orlando and Helena. I like the Shakespearean connections and the sound of these names. Unfortunately, neither of them really suits our last name!

    I'm obsessed with the name Virginia for a girl (nn: Ginny). I also like Georgia. I don't really have a boy place name I like though.

    ETA: I forgot Austin was on my list...and that's a place name...duh!

    Chelsea, Sienna, and Sicily would be on my list for girls
    My niece was named Clare after the county in Ireland.

    Rome or Roman for a boy

    Georgia and Carolina (as in North Carolina) are on our short list for girls' names. They both have very special meanings to us

    Hmmmm. Lafayette, where I was born, but I wouldn't be able to get past True Blood and the way sookie says "laugh-eye-et".

    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.

    I love the name Georgia. DH is sadly not a fan.

    Sydney for a girl though I like the name with absolutely no connection to the place!

    For a boy...????

    @Chillybear: oh I like Chelsea.

    @daniellemybelle: me too! I think Georgia (I'd call her Georgie) is so cute, but DH doesn't love it.

    I love Savannah, Georgia, Virginia, Boston, Bristol, London, and Sydney!

    If this baby is a girl we are naming her after a NASCAR race track. It's the place where DH told me he loved me for the first time. It's also been used before as a first name, but not often.

    Virginia, Georgia, Charlotte, Savannah, Magnolia... I could keep going. Virginia is on my short list as its a family name, but DH has an ex named Virginia. Though, she's one of our best friends, he still says no way.

    @Danizaur: Oooh, is it Bristol?

    St. Augustine, Fl has a special place in my heart and my husband and I spend quite a bit of time there. I always thought Augustine or August was a great boy name.
