    Virginia~ A lovely, old fashioned place name. I like Ginny as a nickname as opposed to Virgie but I know several older ladies with each nick name.

    Georgia~ Also a great, old fashioned name. I like it slightly less than Virginia. Georgie is cute.

    Paris~ Not a fan of this being used as a name for a human. Paris Hilton killed it for me.

    Dakota is cute. i like it a lot. While I prefer it for a girl I don't mind it for a boy.

    Austin is awesome! If any of my 3 granddaughters had been a boy they would have been Austin.

    Dallas is only okay to me. I prefer it for a boy but I know of several girls or women with the name.

    Asia~ i really dislike using this as a name for a human. If used, I prefer it for a girl.

    Carolina isn't awful but Caroline is so much prettier.

    There are tons of "place" names I like. I have a notebook with well over 100 written down just from places in the state where I live. Since many places are named after people I find them to be great names. A few of my favorites are Sydney (my name), Adrian, Bronson, Charlotte, Eloise, Kent, Marshall, Orion, Reese, Sawyer, Shelby, and Troy.

    There are certain so called place names I find harsh and unflattering. Indiana (except for Jones), Alaska, Aspen, Phoenix, and London to name a few.

    I like Virginia and Georgia. I have a cousin named Virginia, but she goes by Ginny. I don't care for Paris

    Dakota I prefer on a boy. I like Austin, but not Dallas or Asia. Carolina is very nice.

    I would suggest Aberdeen for a girl. Aberdeen is a city in Scotland. You can use the nickname Deenie for Aberdeen.

    I personally don't like Virginia, Georgia, or Carolina. Just not my style. I have an aunt Virginia and I know a little girl named Georgia. I consider all 3 girl names.

    Paris might be okay, but only for a girl.. Maybe a 6 out of 10

    I think Dakota is a unisex name. I went to school with a guy named Dakota and I have a friend's who named her daughter middle name Dakota. It's probably a 8 out of 10 for me.

    Austin is definitely a boy name. But for me it's a 4 out of 10.

    Dallas is unisex to me. My nephew is named Dallas but I know girls with the name to.

    Asia is cute. Only for a girl. Maybe a 7 out of 10.

    Others you didn't mention..

    Alaska. 7 out of 10, girl

    Phoenix. 10 out of 10, unisex. Prefer it as a girl

    I don't know if you consider planet names as place names but if so, I'm lately attracted to the name Neptune. For a girl. 9.5 out of 10.

    Boys: Austin

    I'd also put London in the girls category

    I consider Dallas a girl's name.

    I love the names Georgia and Virginia they are both probably an 8 out of 10 for me.

    I think Dakota is a girl's name.

    I've never heard of someone with the name California.

    Paris, Austin, and Asia aren't my favorite maybe a four out of ten.

    Depends on the name itself

    ♀ Virginia: very lovely

    ♀ Georgia: lovely

    ♀ Paris: do not care for

    ♀♂ Dakota: love it!

    ♂ Austin: love!

    ♂ Dallas: love!

    ♀ Asia: never cared for

    ♀ Carolina: don't care for. Much prefer Caroline

    In my opinion:

    Dakota: unisex

    Dallas: male

    I do not like many commonly used place names like Paris or London, they just sound pretentious to me. I do really like Virginia and Georgia and Carolina. I like Denver, Austin, Utah, Alabama, Tennessee, and Sydney.

    I really like Virginia, Georgia, and Carolina for girls.

    You shouldn't be talking about sex and babies. The bible says not to.
