Help[Opinions] Re: Boston
in reply to a message by Joiya
The chances of Boss or Bossy happening as nns seems fairly high, which to my mind would not be good. Is she actually from Boston, or is it a family surname?
I like quite a few place-names, but they're all Welsh and local and meaningful, or are also generally-used people-names. I don't much like the idea of naming a child after a place you've no connection with, but I suppose it depends on how much you like the name.

Actually, she likes Bos ... as it will be his (if boy) initials too. Not sure about a girl.
She is not from Boston, but she loves it there, went to school there, the father is from there, etc...
I agree that there should be a connection to a place-name if you use it. I know a Baker who was named such because both his parents happened to grow up on a Baker Street and Baker Road in two different towns... then they bought a house on Baker Ave in my town. So... they named their son Baker.
I only really like names that just happen to be places as well (Elmira, Randolph, Sherman, Cicily, etc...).
