Help[Opinions] Re: Paris, Ireland & Holland
in reply to a message by Raya
The subject line looks like an advertisement for a cruise.
1. Paris, boy (but would also be my first pick for a girl)
2. Ireland, girl, like Erin and Eir / Holland, unisex
I used to think Paris was too much of a vain pretty boy name (the way Adonis, and to some degree Page, seem) for either gender, but it's grown on me a little, I think because I like Peregrine "Perry", Faris / Farris / Ferris, and Parisa. Hollis has grown on me as a masculine name recently, as well, somewhat; I used to feel that was exclusively feminine.
I don't like names that end with "land" on principle; they seem dehumanizing. I like Ireland a little more probably...it's green, and Holland is beige...but Holland makes me think of a song ("The Death of Ferdinand de Saussure"), so maybe it's a tie.
If I were naming a pet, I'd probably pick Holland, because it'd sound comically stuffy on an animal, sort of like Wynnstan would.
