Honest opinions please, what do you think to River for a boy? My husband and I absolutely love it. My concerns are that I can't imagine the name River on a man and that it's so 'out there' he could hate it. What do you think? Thanks for the help!!!

Jamie Oliver called his new son River so it will become more popular.
I think the full name is River Rocket , I guess in tribute to Jamie's favourite lettuce.

It is rather "out there" and made me think of River Phoenix too but if you love it then you should use it.

Is there a name you like for a middle name if he hates it that he could use when older?
