I like Odessa, Roma, Vienna for girls and Aspen for boys. I can see Aspen working as a unisex name.
When I read the title, I thought you were going to spotlight Atlas as a name! I guess it is a name. I don’t know if I like Atlas as a name or not. It’s one of those names I have to think about.
I know a fifty year old woman named Aspen.
It oddly fits her.
Ironically, I couldn’t find an Atlas in the competition! 🙂 I have already had Atlas as a featured name though.
Wow, some of these place names strike me as unusable. Vegas? It just screams low class.
I do know people named:
Denver
Austin
California Chicago (her mom is from Cali and her dad from Chicago. She goes by Cali Chi)
Savannah
Georgia
Virginia
Carolina
London
Sydney
Paris.
Is Sydney popular in Australia? I know it blew up in popularity here a few years ago.
Sydney hasn’t charted since the 1960s; it was a unisex name when it was in common usage.
Brooklyn is also a Sydney suburb
Well spotted! I edited it. It’s also a suburb of Melbourne.
