Help[Opinions] Re: India
in reply to a message by Alice
I generally think that countries and continents are not appropriate namesakes for children. Sorry. Also, I dislike the extreme trendiness of "place names" - London, Paris, Lourdes, etc. If someone hops on this name bandwagon, his or her child's name will be immediately recognizable as coming from within about 5 years of the present. What sounds "lovely and exotic" now will just be another Tiffany in ten years.

Paris is also an ancient greek male name. Generally, names are being produced by various and strange ways. George seems very normal to you but it means "the one that is working/producing work from the earth-a farmer". It is an ancient greek word (I am greek) and without knowing some greek, you can not be found in the right path...

Maybe, depends where your from. In London for example the name India doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary, I have met 2 grown women with this name.
I agree, generally place names like Lourdes are set into our timeperiod. I don't see it any different to the Victorians love of flower names :)
