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.
