Thank you for your help.
I like your sentence, but I haven't met the guy yet. She is on Facebook and her name is Vienna. I want to tell her that is the first time I heard someone has a country name as first name. Please help

She's a girl, not a guy.
Vienna is a city, not a country.

This is the first time that I have met someone on Facebook whose first name is the name of a city.
