[Opinions] Re: London
in reply to a message by Lily
As a general rule, I like place names as personal names. I just think there are more attractive options than London. My father was born there so I have a sentimental attachment. But I still wouldn't use it. (I live in the U.S., if that matters.)
But if it's spelled correctly I have no problem with others using it. When I tried to find a mn for it once, "London Isabella" immediately popped to mind. I was reading a biography of Isabella of France (French born queen of English Edward II -- she was the one in "Braveheart."). I'm sure that influenced me a lot. I can't decide if the combo "London Isabella" is tragically trendy or acceptably historic.
