River and Raphael are our final choice names for our boy. I prefer River - any similar names? Not toooo hippy but a little bit?

I know of a Harbour Hmm but his parents are living their life via Instagram and other 'Platforms' so have little sense really. Harbour? Dear me the world's gone mad

Raphael!

The problem is that apart from River lots of boys ‘nature’ names seem to sound a bit Sarah Palin.

My cousin named her son River, but after a couple of months everyone switched to using his middle name (Alex).
