Finding these names based on different places is such fun! Do you have one or two in mind to add to this list? Let me know! And I'll feature them next month. :]
Happy Monday, y'all!
To be frankly honest, I'm not sure I would name my daughter Italy or son Denmark. But Libya is pretty....
ReplyDeleteI could see Carolina, Penny (Pennsylvania), Virginia, Montana, Lincoln (Lincolnshire, or the cities), Bedford, Devon, and other such names being added to this list though.
Same! But I think I would consider them great names for a character or two. I could see Italy as a dystopian character, I think. And Denmark is kinda neat... maybe a present day story?
DeleteOooh! These are great suggestions! Thanks, girl ;D
Oh my goodness, I've never thought of Italy being used as a name, but it's SO CUTE. Libya too! And Acre is such a unique name idea. :O You come up with the best ones!
ReplyDeleteD'awwww, thanks, Lauri! *^ _ ^* I kinda like Italy as well. And you could always tweak the spelling a little to modernize it (Itali, Italie, Italee) :] Yes, I think both of them are neat too! Acre, especially, imo :D
