HelpRe: London
in reply to a message by rascaldog
Have you been to London?
If so, I think it's OK but very trendy.
If not, I think it's trendy and also "wannabe". Sorry.
(Also, I dislike London as a place, so that puts me off the name even more.)

What you said + more
I love the city of London! It's one of my favorites!
But I agree with what you said about it as a name and would like to add: imo, it may work on a boy but NOT a girl and to me, is the equivalent of naming your kid New York, Chicago or Los Angeles.
Other big city names from the UK and Ireland that are no-nos imo (and along the same lines as London or Chicago): Edinburgh, Birmingham (the pos. nn of 'mingin' is NOT what one would want), Manchester, Cardiff, Dublin, Belfast, Cork... they just DON'T work.

Mingin
That would be a horrible nickname. I had never heard the word until last year because it's one of those fun words that American English just doesn't use. An Irish student at my friend's university said it in conversation to describe her toes and it had everyone around her quite confused. :-)

lol..
I had heard before I first went to England but I didn't exactly know what it meant and my friends over there (mates, whatev... lol) kept saying "so'n'so is SO mingin'!" or "oh, that is so mingin', don't even consider it..." and I'm just like "okay...?" lol. It was funny. I love it now though too :) It's fun to use.
