Am pregnant with DC 3, found out it’s a boy last week and the only name I really love is River. Thoughts? Halo

I absolutely love it but worry he would get picked on?

I love it.

I know a gorgeous little boy named River! I've always loved this name for either a boy or a girl ❤️

I really like it too. I know a boy and a girl with this name they both really suit it

Its not a name, it's water that boats go on.
I hate silly object names and can't imagine an adult with the name.
There are thousands of names out there for you to choose from.

A family near me has 3 boys, August, Winter and River and people are constantly talking about how silly their names are and other children are, unfortunately cruel and take the mick out of their names.

Gorgeous name. Many people of MN are a more adverse to emerging name trends than the general population.

I’ve seen a few years ago parents put off calling their child Albert or Felix or Ralph as it’s too “whacky”. All those names now in top 100. I bet those parents regret listening to MN opinions! It’s a great name - go for it

Love it for a boy.
