London??

Taylor11Taylor11
in Baby Names
What do you think of the name London for a girl? It's a guilty pleasure name of mine... I usually like more classic names, but I keep circling back... Can picture a classy, chic, confident girl with this name. But at the same time, seems like it could come off as cheesy or white trash. Help.

    I may be in the minority here, but I like it. I don't think it sounds white trash or stripper, but it has a trendy ring to me.

    I don't think stripper or white trash, but I do think it's super trendy and kind of unsophisticated...like Paris and the awful association with Paris Hilton.

    I'm not going to call it white trash, but it is definitely closer to that than a classy person for me. London feels like a very small-town name to me, if that makes sense.

    I like it but I wouldn't personally use it.  Screams trendy to me.

    This is correct.

    I'm not a fan.  To me it does seem kind of cheesy and made up and, like the previous poster suggested, it kind of reminds me of Paris Hilton's name...

    I don't like it. Seems like a name only a celebrity would use.

    I dislike London as a name for a little girl.  I can picture both scenarios as well, but cheesy white trash is stronger.

    It's a reality-TV-esque name to me.

    It's like a stage name to me, but not so much stripper as America's Next Top Model contestant.

    This.  That's why I'm not into place names.  What if your kid decides to visit or live in the place he or she is named after?  To me these sort of names sound vaguely aspirational, like you want to be hip so you name your kid after someplace cool-sounding you've never actually been to.

    Maybe as a middle name? If she really likes it she can ask to be called by it. My only experience with the name is a friend's dog, so that may be coloring my perceptions a bit. Eh, I think the name may work better for a dog than a human. Not sure about this.

    I agree with this.  I feel like the majority of people who name their daughter London have probably never been there.

    I love it. Then again, it's my 2nd DD's name, so I'm biased. ;);)

    We definitely get more positive feedback when people hear her name than we do negative, not that it matters to me either way. :)

    Stripper &amp; white trash... Really?&nbsp;



    No one said it was stripper or whitie trash before your post just trendy.


    I dislike it.&nbsp; Seems trendy like Paris, Brooklyn, Savannah, etc



    the first post in response was "sounds stripperish to me"

    The words White trash/trashy were also brought up.
