What do you think? Baby Name - Berlin?

I think it's a cool name for a boy, not so much for a girl. I don't see any problem with naming a child after a place, people are named after flowers and colors, so why not places? I secretly always quite fancied the name Tallinn (city in Estonia) for a boy, so I can't really say no to Berlin.

Berlin is a vivant, passionately and addictive city, an area that is only ideal for spend the vacation. Discover more with hotelbye . In Berlin you will only appreciate its renowned sights, their vast swathes of natural, their sky bars and elegant restaurants. Berlin is really a important hub of politics, culture, press, and science. Noted because of its social sparkle, Berlin is house to the planet popular Berlin Opera and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, while their diverse artwork world encompasses countless galleries, events, and museums, including these centred on Museum Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But, nothing claims Berlin such as the Brandenburg Gate, long the city's most defining monument and their response to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Brandenburg Gate was built for King Frederick Wilhelm II in 1791 and now en days remain a significant mark with several famous readers like: Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

I like the word Berlin, and I think it's a great thing to honour your heratige with a name reminding you of the country your ancestors hail from, but I'd personally not go with Berlin.

I'm Dutch (East Belgium) and spend a lot of time in and out of the Netherlands & Germany, where 'ein Berliner' is a type of cake (like a donut). My local bakers and I know of a few others, will just write 'Berlin' on the label in front of the Berliners. So it'd equate quite nicely to a German naming their kid Donut.

If you don't plan for him to ever come over here, though, I'd say it's a free country ;]

Well I guess Berlin just means the place Berlin. What if he ever has to study Berlin in school or take a trip there?

It makes me think of all the negative things associated with the Berlin wall, and also a little bit of Irving Berlin. Pass :/

If you're looking for something with communist connotations, how about Leon or Karl?

There is nothing wrong with the name Berlin even thou it a town in Germany. My very first name I had was Yum Ree choi that before coming to Illinois in 1975 I was named after a town in South Korea

So there is nothing wrong It could be either gender name

good luck

Good name cus it makes me think of the Berlin Wall. Berlin would i thin be prefferably for a boy but if its a girl, you could also have Berlina and Belle or Bella

i like berlin for a boy but not a girl good luck

I don't think it's a good idea.

There are lots of beautiful German names, I think they have some of the prettiest for girls, and strongest for boys. You should use a name of German origin.

This site lets you search for names based on their origin, and tells you their meaning. I'd recommend looking there.
