Jasper and Delilah

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/10/2018 17:27

Actually wait, isn't River Phoenix a person ? So if you already have a Phoenix I probably wouldn't go with River

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/10/2018 17:26

Also River and Ocean seem more feminine to me

Namechange8471 · 19/10/2018 17:24

Phoenix and Nova are lovely btw.

But I don't like any of your suggestions for next babies...

Maybe see other posters will have suggestions.

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/10/2018 17:24

I really dislike them all, so sorry ! I prefer the middle names you're going with as first names.

Like a pp said, I can't imagine a woman introducing herself as any of those names. Or the boys names actually
Sorry they're just not my style at all

Quizeerascal · 19/10/2018 17:21

Also Lux is a toiletry brand

Thumbcat · 19/10/2018 17:19

River is fine if you spell it correctly. I don't understand why you would want to make up a new spelling.

I can't imagine a grown up woman wanting to introduce herself as any of your girl choices.

I do like your other children's names though.

Quizeerascal · 19/10/2018 17:19

I'm not overly keen on any of them I'm afraid. I think Phoenix and Nova (and Jasper and Grace) are all much more sophisticated than any of your suggestions for your DTs. I also think that Phoenix and Nova will suit your dc as they grow where as names like Prince and Pixie are quite childish.

Lulu is a great name if its short for something, Lucie/Lucia/Louisa etc, which also all go really well with Grace. I prefer River to Ryver, otherwise Rio meaning River could work?

MollyHuaCha · 19/10/2018 17:18

I prefer names like...

Catherine and Samuel
Penelope and Sebastian
Miranda and Thomas
Meredith and Edward

Sexnotgender · 19/10/2018 17:18

Also Ryver wouldn’t be pronounced River.

jq28 · 19/10/2018 17:15

Pixie grace and jasper river

Frosty66611 · 19/10/2018 17:15

River and Lulu (don’t like the Ryver spelling though)

dyla · 19/10/2018 17:14

Ahhh I love Phoenix and Nova!!! Lovely names.

I absolutely love Prince.
Ocean is okay but I would prefer it on a girl.
River* is okay (not Ryver)!

Pixie is nice.
I absolutely love Lux.
Not keen on Lulu, too cutesy.

I'd choose Prince and Lux.

MsSquiz · 19/10/2018 17:14

I would make Jasper the first name and go for Jasper River.
I also like Pixie Grace

River is definitely an option as we're undecided on the spelling of that one.

If you go for river please spell it correctly.
