What do you all think of the name River for a boy? And any suggestions for a middle name for River?
TIA,
Love it!!!
We have two members with River's for boys... maybe more too, just two i know of.
I love the name River - but (and please don't hit me :hide:) I don't think it goes with your other names, which are more classic names - River is much more.. um.. alternative.
Sorry :hide:
I agree sorry:
Obviously I like it (even though we switched it to a middle name after Stell was born ;) )
I kind of agree with Melly though; except that I think it fits with Lily and Charlie but not Orson. Still if you love it, use it! Its a great name, esp for a water baby :lol:
Any mn idea's?
Yes i know. But i am trying to steer clear of traditional old fashioned names. I chose Lily cause i was young and couldn't be bothered thinking up something else. Charlie's was chosen because he didn't have a name and i regret it. He was orginally meant to be Roman. But i felt discouraged because my father said he hated it. So now i don't tell anyone IRL what names we have picked until they are born. And DH chose Orson and yeah it is old fashioned however no one i talk to has heard of it nor have i heard of another child called it. I really like alternative names and think seeing as this is my last child i should chose a name i really like instead of listening to other people's opinions. Anyway, off my soap box now, lol. For the record, Orson's middle name is Phoenix. That's pretty alternative IMO. ;)
I like River, I will have to think of middle names that go with it though, it is a tricky one. I think it goes fine with your other names - you don't need to have a Leaf and a Rain to make it work ;).
FWIW I love the name Roman.
You're right - you shouldn't listen to other people, and you should call your kids whatever you want to call them.
Therefore - don't listen to me :lol:
I love it :) but its becoming quiet popular these days.
Im loving Cage atm..dont know why but its a name that keeps popping into my fat head lol
Have you got a letter in mind at all?
:ROFL: ahh Mel you crack me up:
At least come back to give some more suggestions please Mel. I love your ideas for names.:
Maz, no idea. I struggle with boys names.
If you still like Roman would it be an option this time.

I love it - if this is a boy I want to call him Hunter Amadeus, but Orson is also a name that I like !!!

CAge? hmm not sure on that but I do like Gage.
Maybe not with River though would sound weird.
