Cherish - Name for unicorn made up by 6 year old girl
China Iera = Iera is interesting, China is bad (what do you want to bet the parents have nothing to do with China?
Chineye Princess - SO BAD OMG. Chineye sounds like China-eye and is almost offensive. Princess is vile. I'd almost prefer "Citizen" to Princess, it is soooo pretentious and sad.

Heaven - ECH. HATE.
Heaven Angel - Brutal. Sounds like she is dead.

India Shonea - I don't like these ethnic place names. These parents are probably not Indian.
Infinity Yvonne - Infinity is bad. Yvonne OK.
Iysis Jayonna - Why the creative spelling of Isis? Jayonna not good.
Jaspyr Pazley - Why the creative spelling of Jasper?
Jersey-Lynn Patrice - I don't like Jersey, the rest isn't bad. Why would you name your child after New Jersey of all places?
Jewels Hailey - I thought I couldn't hate Jewel more. Hailey is one of my least favorite names ever.

Lyric Lamaria Lajuan - I don't understand the middle names.
Lyric Mane - Ooooh Mane is a part of a horse. bad.

Raeven Monai - I don't like this - very renaissance faire.

Shiloh Amber - Ooooh I can't believe people are actually using the Infangelina name!
Starwyn McKenna - Trashy.
Symphony Akai - I don't like these musical nouns like "symphony" or "harmony" or whatever. It's really try-hard.
MALES
Achillies Demontae - I don't like the presence of "demon" in that mn, Achilles is a bit much and spelled wrong.
Addison Laine - Not my fave, but at least it's on a boy. Mn spelling looks femme to me.
Blade James - BLADE??? Like the murder weapon? I know people are using a lot of nouns as names, but why can't they be nouns with pleasant associations?
Draven Shade - Another fantasy character made up by a 12-year old boy.
Harley Austin - born April 1 - OK.

Shiloh Alex - I can't believe people are using the Brangelina name
Sincere Lamont - At least it's a nice quality, sincerity...
Skylon Deshawn - I don't like these weird attempts to masculinize Sky, it just looks really awkward and will date superfast. Deshawn is not good either.
Syncere - Sigh
Victoriaous - What was wrong with Victor?
Ziare Messiah - Messiah's a heavy, heavy burden.
Zyaire Da'Shori James - don't like place names, but Zaire would be leaps and bounds better than this concoction.

Question: just curious why do people *have* to have a connection the the place if they want to use a place name?
for example a possible future child of mine might be named Cairo, due to my love of Egypt, and Egyptian Mythology. I have never been there though, I'd love to someday hopefully.
Also I plan on using Shiloh for a son, but not because of Angelina Jolie's child. :)
ETA: I forgot to add the I'd probably name my child after a place name regardless if I've been there or not, wether it has a special meaning to me or not. I was just curious on why quite a few people believe you should have a connection.

Well if you love Egpyt and have some knowledge about it then fine, but some people call their children Kenya or China and have no knowledge, ties or reason to use it other than the fact it is "unique". One family called their child Malaysia because it sounded nice, they didn't know it was a place name. Sad really.

ah I get it, I agree. I think it's important to at least know sime history on the place. :).
The only two place names I would use that I really don't know much about would be Paris (for a boy) although it's not really after the place but a character in Shakespeare. lol. I also want to use Brooklyn, but not because of Brooklyn, NY. I like Brook for a boy, but I thought Brook sounded a bit 'girly' so I thought Brooklyn would sound more boyish. So I guess even though they are the names of places that wouldn't count due to my reasoning but I don't know! lol

I just don't like place names generally - I think they sound best on, well, places. But beyond this, I echo Jeziana on it sounding like an attempt to be unique and exotic. There's also a risk of trivializing the place itself - its history, its people, etc - by thinking it's just a pretty word.
There's also the whole other issue of naming your child after a place that doesn't have very good connotations, like Jersey.
