Help[Opinions] You're not weird
in reply to a message by Nikida
There are names of places, like Virginia, Georgia, Carolina, Adelaide, which are after a person. So they are not felt as "place names". I believe that Georgia was after King George, Carolina after King Charles, Virginia after Queen Elizabeth I (sometimes called the "Virgin Queen). Paris is actually a perons's name in Greek mythology (he was a prince of Troy).
But Londen feels like a placename only. And Seattle does not even sound good. To me, it sounds very abrupt and not handsome enough to be a fn.
"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)
