Yeah, I find your attitude little rude and condescending. I mean, for Pete's sake! You only have to put two and two together to work this one out. Or, you know, google Harlow. Not difficult, hey?
I must agree that the American-English-place / British-American-place analogy does not really work, especially when she could have suggested the ridiculous name London used by anglophiles outside of the UK, which is equal to Texas in place-name-ness whilst keeping the analogy she was trying to create... but... really? Really? Google is your friend, if you don't know what people are going on about.
I also guess that she knows that Texas isn't a common name in America. She wasn't implying that, and it isn't popular here, either, so...
Anyway, to the original poster, whilst it would be insane to name your child Harlow in England, let alone London or... Manchester... Texas is far more place-y, and Tex screams Texas and... well, you know what I mean. I don't think there's much of a way around it.
I'm sorry to be aggressive, Rox-star, but you seem pretty rude anyway and your post was pretty aggressive-aggressive when all you had to do was google it! Then you'd have gotten the comment and learned something too. Have a nice day, eh? :)
