HelpSo you don't hate *all* place names? =]
in reply to a message by bananarama
Because I love the fact that Petra is a place name. It's just so cool! And this comment wasn't meant to sound rude or argumentative. I'm genuinely happy, because as far as I'm concerned Petra is like, the coolest place name ever.

place names v names that are places
I agree that sometimes there is a lot of appeal in place names. But names like Adelaide, Georgia, and Petra were names before they were places. I'm sure with pretty much any given name you can find a corresponding city or landmark, because places are so often named after people. If you hated all names that were also places you'd hate every name.
Petra is a better name than Alabama
I used to be able to shortlist Petra but I can't like it enough anymore. It's neat though.
