You've simply got to use it at some point, it's an awesome name, and goes so well with DS's monika! I purchased a top from Jack Wills today called Somersby! ..I had a little giggle to myselfGrin

Our DS has a very popular aka boring Grin first name (that I LOVE!), and River as a middle, which is obviously less popular and hippy/naturey! For (hypothetical) DC2, I'd love to follow that trend, and need more inspiration for hippy/nature names!! However, if it were to be a girl, I'd be tempted to go for the more unusual name as the first name!

I really like River too, in fact I like most of the 'hippy' names on this thread Grin

DD or DS? I really love that name, but our surname is very similar so it's a no-go! :(

Well one of the names is Rowan

blueberrymoon · 07/04/2011 22:49

Nope, guess again!!! ...

...Oh okay, it's River :) what are yours?!

and for what it's worth, I actually really like James, and it's DH's middle, but HE vetoed it!
