I was briefly married to a Georgia, but the family wasn’t Southern. The fathers name was George and that is also what he named his first son, so his first daughter was Georgia.
Never have understood the phenomenon of fathers passing down their name, you’ve already cursed your child with the family name, why make things harder on the poor whelp?
I know a Paris, a Virginia, and a Georgia, just off the top of my head. Location names are weird, but not unheard of.

Vanity isn’t it? Pathetic male vanity. Never hear women doing it do you.
The names were first. The locations are named after names.
Even America was a name first.

Those were all human names first. Places named after people, not the other way around.
