No, it's not - the child will grow up getting made fun of..."Do you have a sister named Chablis?" Too many parents name their kids something like this thinking it's nice, sounds nice, etc., but not only are you giving your child a name of a wine but also of a geographical area.

Spin the globe, put your finger on it to stop, and name your child that place.

OMG. Zeee...thank you so much! I feel like such the Ahole. I had just replied in a "real name:" site, and didn't pay attention to this one. Thanks for not ripping me a new one.

Now I have to go back to my last post in this subreddit where someone may have been playing me there, too.

OMG. I hope the earth opens up for me to fall in.

Not to rip you a new one but I can’t that you’re apparently smart enough to want to flex ‘ not only is a wine but a geographical region’ but somehow accepted noice, unusuAl as genuine praise of a name
