Re: India.
in reply to a message by Evangeline Rose
It does have a very pretty sound, but I dislike it as a name. I have lots of friends from the India, and more specifically the Punjab region, and they are always telling me about their trips there to visit family. When they describe the utter beauty, but ridiculous levels of poverty to me, I wouldn't want a child to be associated with that. One day, when I have the money, I will go over with them and see it for myself. I would not, however, want to be named for a place and then have no knowledge of it whatsoever.
Argh, I read a novel once where there was a girl named India and her father called her 'my beautiful little continent'. I was so annoyed at the ignorance!
I don't think I like any other place names, that I know of. Lots of places have common people names that I may like and be unaware of.
