Is there a trend to name children after cities? Just a few years ago, the name
"London" was not in the top 1000 baby names, but in 2007 the rank was 284 (for girls).
Similarly, the name "Paris" has become popular.
These 2 examples are European cities that have become popular baby names in the
United States. But what about U. S. cities?
