[Opinions] Re: Caledonia
I have so many family members to honour... but if I didn't, I wouldn't hate call one of my daughters France :)
I had thought about this as a kid and had planned names like France Lys lol (Lys, "lily" in English, is a symbol of France).If I was American I would be really tempted by America.Oh, I just forgot, the fn I planned for my second son will be Israel although since the country was named (in Ancient times) for the person Israel I don't see it as naming a kid like a country.

Where I live(French-speaking Canada) the name France is occasionally used, often a hyphenated name, as, Marie-France. Sometimes, of course, it's short for Francine, or Francoise, but "France" can stand alone. Oh, and I do like Caledonia.
