In Homer's epic poem "The Iliad", Paris was the Trojan Prince whose vanity caused the start of the Trojan war and the eventual downfall of his city. In Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet", Paris was the man the Capulet's wanted Juliet to marry. Paris is also the capital city of France.
Although traditionally a boy's name, Paris has become increasingly popular on girl's because of high-profile celebrities like Paris Hilton.
