Well......to be fair, Alberta was a name before it was a province, so I disagree that it would be just like naming a child Ontario or Halifax. I'm an American, though, so my impression is probably very different from yours.

I agree, it'd be more like naming your kid Georgia or Carolina rather than Ontario. Doable, recognized as a name, but still with a strong association with a place.
