City-themed baby names?

Yes, I know a lot of you think they're corny, and I do too.. But I think it's a cute corny!

Anyway, we named my daughter "London Marie Paris." I always loved the name London, and it just seemed to fit with the last name from her daddy. So now, we're having a second one. For a girl, I like the name Brooklyn (Brooke for short) but I can't think of a single boy name that has a city theme. I've heard Austin, Houston, Jackson.. I don't like any of them.

Suggestions? And yes, as I said, I know a lot of people don't like city themed names. I don't want an answer that says "City names are so corny! Name him John!"

Thanks! =)

This may sound a little too feminine for a boy, but I like the name Raleigh. What about Boston? I like that, it sounds very masculine. Here are a few others that are alright, but not my favorites:
Carson, a city in California
Concord, capital of New Hampshire
Dallas, a large city in Texas
Dayton, a large city in Ohio
Denver, capital of Colorado
Hadley, a farming community in western Massachusetts
Macon, a large city in Georgia
Phoenix, capital of Arizona
Salem, historical town and site of the Salem Witch Trials in northern Massachusetts
Troy, present day Turkey, but once a city where the Trojan War was fought
Walker, a large town in California.

I like Boston the best!

Good luck and congratulations!

City names are so corny! Name him John :D

Sorry I couldn't resist...

I love the name Jackson, it was my grandfather's middle name.
Austin: a lot of people use this name...
Houston: not sure about this one, but I think it is because it is a last name of some distant relatives I have.

Wow, so I seriously just thought about your question for a good half an hour and could only come up with was Salem...I mean obviously I thought of Kingston, Hudson, Trenton and all the other easy ones, but I suck at this! lol, I think it's a cute idea though! :) I thought of Camden too, but didn't know if it was too girly...Well, Good luck! If nothing else, I hope I made you laugh :)
Congrats on the little one!

Sorry, but I am not much for 'themed names'. I love unique names (but not crazy) mixed with classic, family names. Just my opinion. Lyn
