I spent a few months in Toronto. Never go there in winter. I went back home in May. There was still snow in Toronto. I spent my life mainly underground. After a few weeks I was blinded when I got out and caught a glimpse of the blue sky. There was a cold wind always. Crossing a street was a fight against it. However, I would not want to miss the time I spent there. I'm going back some day, for a visit, and only in summer.
It depends on the story, setting, time and place, I'd say. A very modern name in a historical story is out of place, for instance. I always very carefully choose my characters' names.
