I can imagine really liking
Geneva if I met a person actually named
Geneva. I bet it would sound pretty cool then. Right now I think, like you did, eh, it's another place name. But it does seem a lot more classic and a lot less tacky than, say,
London or
Paris.
I prefer
Genevieve, but then it is my sister's name. The whole thing is kind of a mouth full though. My Genny goes by Genny or Ducky most of the time.
Speaking of names you didn't think you'd like, I just finished a novel with a girl character named
Merrick! I know that's that one of your boy name faves, but I was kind of drawn to it for a girl.
Re:
Vaughn - no, I don't like it. I find the word itself unattractive.
