What about
Boy:
Rider
Bear

Girls:
Aurora
Astra
Luna

I think Pixie/Ocean/Lux would be difficult names to grow up with.

Ryver?!?! Don't do it.

mnahmnah · 20/10/2018 07:03

Love River and Lulu!

moredoll · 20/10/2018 06:42

How about Ossian? The pronunciation is nearly the same.
Agree Rio is a good substitute for Ryver.

The girls names are too girly for me

Sungura · 20/10/2018 04:51

I am in total agreement with the majority of posters who do not like these names. Please consider the selection of names by @finallychangedmyusername We can always give you more if you want.

I love the middle names but honestly? The first names aren't great, except Lux which I adore! I'd definitely have Lux as the girls name. As for the others -
Boy:
Prince - Very Kardashian
Ocean - No, just not a name.
Ryver - Would be okay (but not great) if spelled correctly

Girl:
Pixie - cute but as a nickname
Lulu - No, not as a standalone name

Jasper is a gorgeous name, and I think Lux and Jasper sounds fab!

Shadow1234 · 19/10/2018 21:45

I like River as a name
I think Lux is a bar of soap
Dont like any other names

What about Neve, Astra, Aspen, Eden, Quinn, Romy, Remi, Brooke,
Morgan, Arlo, Cooper, Hudson, Lincoln ????

finallychangedmyusername · 19/10/2018 20:08

Sorry to say I'm not keen on any of your choices. Could I please suggest the following which may suit you?:

Luna
Pandora
Apollina
Aurora
Venus
Lyra
Cassiopeia
Ember

Atlas
Apollo
Orion
Jupiter
Zephyrus
Aries

Of these I like Phoenix, Nova and
Aries Jasper
Ember Grace

They both seem to fit with your existing DC (fairly unisex mythological/outer space).

EvieV28 · 19/10/2018 19:57

What about Lola?

EvieV28 · 19/10/2018 19:56

I like River! Would spell it River for sure as I'd pronounce Ryver like Rye-ver?
Lulu is lovely too.

C0untDucku1a · 19/10/2018 19:41

River and Pixie.

Ryver is not pronounced the same as River. And looks ridiculous.

Muggins123 · 19/10/2018 19:38

Topsy and Tim

saganorenscarandcoat · 19/10/2018 19:38

River and Pixie

Pinkprincess1978 · 19/10/2018 18:47

Sorry not to my taste at all. I actually prefer your girls list to boys list but they do all sound like a nick name. I think pixie would be the easiest to pull off as there are some celebrities called that.

BertramKibbler · 19/10/2018 18:41

Can’t you just call them Jasper & Grace?

huttub · 19/10/2018 18:39

Are you pronouncing ryver rye ver? Or river? Either way I don't like any of the boys names nor girls, they're too far out for me. I love Nova though!

If I had to choose it would be River and Lulu!

LethalWhite · 19/10/2018 18:15

They are all awful, sorry.

Think - in 10 years time you will have two 10 year olds. In 20 years time you will have two 20 years olds etc.

Do you really want them to be called Ryver and Lulu???

Cbeebiesrehab · 19/10/2018 18:12

Out of interest, why are you thinking of spelling River, Ryver?

AllViewsMyOwn · 19/10/2018 18:09

None of them, use the middle names as first names. The names on your list seem like much better middle names

Cheeseplantandpickle · 19/10/2018 17:48

Jasper is an excellent name.
Of the girl names... pixie I suppose.

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/10/2018 17:43

Do you like Juno for a girl ? Juno Grace sounds nice and it goes well with Phoenix and Nova

I'm rubbish with boys names

Cbeebiesrehab · 19/10/2018 17:42

Jasper is lovely and I dont mind River when spelt correctly. I think both names go with your existing children’s names. I’m not sure about your girl names though. I would maybe have a rethink.

Ah ok so none none of them have went down particularly well Sad

The middle names have been picked as they're people who are important to us but we don't love either of the names themselves so they definitely wont be used as first names

Lux is a washing powder.
