Con Sprezzatura.
Some for which I have a soft spot, even if no chance of ever using them. Mostly I like them in spite of the connection to a place, rather than because of it! Petra Carmel Constance Eden Emerald Esperance Iona Ravenna Austin Xanten

I don't like many, but I do like: Girls Ravenna Margaux Carmel Clare Quintana Augusta Izarra I have joked about using Philadelphia or Pennsy (I'm from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) but I wouldn't. Boys Jericho Gilead Troy isn't really my taste but I don't really dislike it. Shiloh feels fairly unisex.

Rather inclined to giggle. Doesn't put things away.
I quite like Geneva. I guess because I see it as another form of Genevieve, one of my favourites.
