Name your baby after your favorite city in the world

Oh, the places you’ll go!

There are certain cities that hold a special significance for us. Perhaps you grew up in Brooklyn. Or your favorite football team heralds from Dallas. Maybe you honeymooned in Paris or landed your first big job in Toronto. Is your favorite city special enough that you’d even name your baby boy or baby girl after it?

Some of the most popular baby monikers are also the names of cities. According to the Social Security Administration Top 100, names such as Jackson (#23), Austin (#60) and Colton (#74) for boys and Madison (#8), Brooklyn (#21), Charlotte (#27) and Sydney (#65) for girls were extremely popular in 2011.

Here we’ve listed some of the world’s greatest cities, all of which would make great baby names. You’ll find names that are suitable for boys, names for girls and unisex names that could be used for either gender.
