For states Georgia and Virginia are acceptable (unless you live in the state you are naming the kid after--then not ok)

City names are all awful and are basically Baryden/Jayden/Cayden.


When I lived in California 25 years ago, our neighbor named their daughter California. They called her "Callie" as a nickname. I actually only recently learned her full name through a Facebook post, because her parents always just called her Callie.

Never heard of an Indian kid named India. It is usually non-Indians who do such names.

- Indian-American.

America isn’t a country. It’s an Area and part of the name of two continents. I mean, I guess it’s also part of the name of one country.


Me: I'm from America.
PP: What country are you from?
Me: Your blonde root is showing.
