      Yes, all three; my first name is a prominent city in a US state, many other lesser-known cities and towns in the US, one place in Canada, and a place on the moon; my middle name is part of a hyphenated name of several places, especially places in England; and my last name is the name of many small towns and at least one county in the US, and a city in Norway.

    Great question!

    My actual first name, Olivia, is a city in southwestern Minnesota.  My married last name is also a city in southwestern Minnesota.  


    My married last name is also towns or cities in Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin in the USA,  Saskatchewan in Canada, Victoria in Australia and Margibi County in Liberia.  My married last name is also the name of counties in Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee and West Virginia.  However, none of the towns or cities with my married last name that I listed are in counties with my married last name, which is kind of weird.

    My middle name is towns or cities in California, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Ontario, South Dakota and Texas.

    The only places that are my maiden name that I found were an incorporated community in Illinois and a township in Iowa.
