[Opinions] Re: Boston
in reply to a message by Joiya
I kind of like Boston for a boy. It's awful for a girl.
I adore Sedona. I'd use it no hesitation.
I think place names are okay sometimes. It depends on how namey they are. Like around where I grew up there was a Jessamine and Fayette county and a little town called Ravenna those are namey enough to use. If it were something like Texas (my great great aunt's name) or Albuquerque or something like that it's different.

Aww, the idea of an old lady called Texas is pretty amazing.
It is pretty fun. She went by Texie most of the time.
Oh my! Albuquerque is fantastic in a 'oh no way' way. I would simply flip to see it on a kid... but I think its got so much quirk it at least deserves pet name consideration.
To be clear, I do not think it is an appropriate name for a human... but it would totally make my day to meet a person whose parents did not know that. ;)

I 100% agree. Albuquerque "Albie" would make an awesome pet name.
