You just know somewhere out there someone in now thinking "Croydon! How perfect!". And it's a horrid place and a horrid name.

This PP makes a good point - Adrian the way iti's spelled is masculine, but if you're saying it could be mistaken as Adrienne.

I'd think of Jack London, and so a boy's name. Interesting that it's more often a girl's name.

There's London on that Zac & Cody show. That's a girl (and an annoying one at that).

The only kid that I've known with that name is a girl.

I'd get away from any place names as a name. I'm sort of regretting using a city name for my child. I love his name, but I think these names are going to drop off the face of the planet and be extremely unfashionable in a few years. I think it's happening now.

I met a little girl named "Denver" a few weeks ago. I wonder how she is going to feel about it when she's 45.

Girls name....please don't do it.

NONONO. London Tipton is a fatuous character in "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody". Airhead moron. The name is a play on Paris Hilton's name and life, except in this case the hotel is owned by the Tipton family, not Hilton, and the unflattering character is a London instead of Paris.

Reminds me of that former housewife Peggy on the Real Housewives of Orange County who named her girls London and Capri.

And no to London, girl or boy. Sounds aspirational.

East-london or west-london?
Is the 2nd name bridge or tower?
Is your brother called big ben?
Do you have an aunt called buckingham palace?

I assume you are looking for a name for a dog. If you really must, you could call the baby brittany, charles, diana, kate or william

BTW, London is now #94 for girls, more popular than Lydia, Kaitlyn, Violet, Angelina, Paige, Ruby, Piper, and Mary. So it's rather feminine.

By contrast, London is #561 for boys, behind Alvin, Boston, and Nelson but still more popular than Rhett, Jermaine, and Roy.

What a useless statistic. You're saying it's a totally obscure name.

THAT'S why I think girl when I hear the name. I knew there must have been a reason. My youngest used to love Suite Life.

I actually do have a dog named London - named after Jack London, although she's female.
