City baby names
Kim Kardashian has named her new brat "Chicago."
Odd but here are other city names foisted on unsuspecting urchins.

Austin (5,334 boys, 116 girls)

Geneva (194 girls)

Juneau (10 girls)

Sydney (46 boys, 2,309 girls)

Siena (475 girls)

Oslo (12 boys)

Camden (3,322 boys, 156 girls)

Denver (268 boys, 180 girls)

Richmond (24 boys)

Carmel (seven boys, eight girls)

Cleveland (23 boys)

Providence, Bristol, and Kingston are all cities in TI. I don't believe any other state has that many on this list, although I doubt our cities aren't those they thought of when wrecking their children's lives.

I don't see any little Jerusalem or Addis Ababa growing up, though. Would Pyongyang be male or female? I can see a husky boy named Istanbul, but he might be bullied if called by an an Alabama site: Gay Meadows.

It seems that gender-specific names belong to history. Paris is a girl? Hmmmm... Tell that to the Spartans! It coulda prevented the Trojan war!

What state is TI??

Juneau should be a boy's name. Junelle for girls.

RE: my state of NJ - I see "Trenton" is well-represented & "Camden" wildly popular. Don't see anybody naming their kid "Newark" or "Paterson," tho they're equally down-at-the-heels urban centers-- what gives? For a seriously NJ-pop name, why not "Asbury"? [w/"Park" as middle name.]

Chicago? But that doesn't start with a K.
(Or maybe it does the way that the Kardashians spell it.}
Kid should probably be grateful they didn't settle on Kathmandu.

If you name a boy Peru, would a girl be Purell?

Chicago is a great name! I hadn't heard that - been holed up in this conference.
