Sistine?
Thoughts on Sistine? Is it too "place-y" ? Fun fact: Sylvester Stallone's daughter is named Sistine.

I have had this on my GP list for YEARS!I really like the name itself. I don't think I would use it due to it being so place-y but I have a special love for it.

Apparently it's popular among Filipinos, which makes sense since they're pretty Catholic.I think I had a classmate by that name (well I think we only shared P.E.), and I thought it was interesting back then. Now it does sound a bit 'wordy' and doesn't roll off the tongue easily.

Way too place-y. I think of the Chapel (which is nice by the way, visit if you get a chance) and nothing else.

I think it’s very pretty, although I’d be worried the girl would be called a sissy.

It sounds like the daughter of a billionaire who calls himself a devout Catholic but has never attempted to read more of the Bible than is required to pass high school, but I actually like it a bit. It is too "place-y", but I think that's the point with names like Sistine and Sicily - and one can't help but admit the Sistine chapel is stunning. I think it'd make a great name for a character.

Definitely. Would also lend itself to jokes about the other fifteen.
