Good evening, dear beans!
I hope you had a lovely Monday. :]
Today's post features a unique batch of ladies' names that you'll find hail from rather familiar landmarks in our world. Some could be used for male or female, but to me they seem more on the feminine side.
Enjoy!

How's NaNo progressing for those of you taking part? I'm still processing the fact we're in the month of November. . . O_______O
Happy writing, y'all! Have a marvelous week!
Aaahhhh, what a fun edition! I LOVE places-based names. London and Paris are especially such pretty ones. But I've never thought of using India as a name, that's a lovely one too! Now you've got my mind going on all the cool places that can be used as names! :D
ReplyDeleteI agree! I kinda like London. And yes! I've got another list started for another of these place editions. :D
DeleteI think Paris is somewhat neutral. I've heard it for both male and female. I love these! <3
ReplyDeleteGreat! I've never heard it used either way personally, but think it'd make a good name for either gender. Thanks, girlie! ^ _ ^
