If you like the sound of Philadelphia but don't like that it's so closely associated with the place, you might consider Philomena instead. Both names come from the same Greek root word, "phileo" meaning "to love".
I really love Philadelphia for a name. It sounds deep and elegant. It also ages beautifully, in my opinion. I think Philly is a very cute nickname; Fia/Phia would probably work, too.
Overall, I think Philadelphia is a gorgeous name.
Honestly it's a pretty long name, I would just use Philly for a boy.
Interesting, and unusual. I kinda like it. Way too associated with the place though.
Unusual and exotic! Not bad at all!
Interesting, unusual name. Probably few people have this name, but, even if it feels too long, at the same time it feels mature and serious. Not that bad. I think Philadelphia as name is really good!
Tomboyish but quite lovely.
I like the movie, but I don't like the word as a name.
Heavily associated with the city.
The name is good as a city, but as an actual name... it's pretty strange and lengthy.
It's a nice name because of the city, and the sound itself, but I can't help thinking of the word paedophilia.
I love Philly. But not that much.
It sounds dumb as a name.
Come on now, everyone would immediately think of the city. It's not the worst place out there, and there are places in America with far more stupid people, but it is quite a lengthy and strange name.
I think it's a very pretty, uncommon name for a girl--that is, if you weren't familiar with the area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In my area (Central PA) Philly is mainly regarded as a city comparable to New York City. I think it's a bit ironic that while the name means "brotherly love", the actual city is close to being the biggest area of crime in the US.
