Re: Paris, Ireland & Holland
in reply to a message by Raya
I'd probably pick Holland (unisex). The nickname Holly would make it more girly but the first thing I think of with Holland as a first name is a male character.
Paris is definitely the worst. On a girl it sounds rich and snobby and obnoxious, and on a boy it's a little better because of the Iliad but it makes me think of Tom Paris from Voyager, who is annoying.
Ireland is okay. I've seen it on a girl before, and I think it sounds fairly girly even though I'd expect place names ending in -land to be boy names.
