I love the city of
London! It's one of my favorites!
But I agree with what you said about it as a name and would like to add: imo, it may work on a boy but NOT a girl and to me, is the equivalent of naming your kid New
York, Chicago or Los Angeles.
Other big city names from the UK and
Ireland that are no-nos imo (and along the same lines as
London or Chicago): Edinburgh, Birmingham (the pos. nn of 'mingin' is NOT what one would want), Manchester, Cardiff, Dublin, Belfast, Cork... they just DON'T work.

"Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know"
