Top 10 Cities That Make Good Girls' Names

10. Paris
9. Detroit
8. Valencia
7. Charlotte
6. Sienna
5. Geneva
4. Athens (Athena)
3. Florence
2. Sydney
1. Brooklyn

I'm also working on girls' names that are desserts (Charlotte gets to count for double. Is she a flower too? That would be crazy.) I would really appreciate some input.
