[Opinions] Richmond
I wonder if this place name is too "place-y" to be a name as well as your opinion.

There's a character on The IT Crowd named Richmond. I love the character, so it kind of appeals to me... though it's not one I'd consider using myself.

I once saw a dedication plaque at a local library with two men (a father and son) named Richmond whose family had contributed to the opening of the facility. I thought they had an amazing style...that is, until I read on and saw that the son's brother was named Khristopher.

It feels very placey to me. I go through Richmond, Va pretty regularly in the car.I do know of one Richmond, he went by Rich. He was a real jerk, and the name does seem a bit hoity-toity, but as far as place names go it feels pretty namey actually.

...upon ThamesIt's too placey for me, but it's not that bad - if you had two grandpas called Richard and Raymond, it might be just the job. :D

It is a bit too placey and also surnamey for me. My first thought is the place in London, then the brand of sausages, then Noel Fielding's character from IT Crowd.
