Spiritual middle name for Rio?

Our family has a tradition of 3 names, one of which is a name with a spiritual meaning (the other middle name is something of Irish/Gaelic/Celtic origin).

We’ve chosen his first name: Rio.
We’ve chosen his Irish roots middle name: Kian

But we can’t decide on the Spiritual flavoured middle name.

We prefer trendy, rather than traditional names.

We had chosen (and still LOVE) Cruz ....

.... but a few people commented that Rio Kian Cruz wasn’t a good choice (using Rio and Cruz together).

So we’re stuck for an alternative to Cruz?

Psalm is the only other option we’ve come up with, but we’re unsure.

Rio Kian Psalm? What do you think? 🤔

Do you have any other suggestions for trendy Spiritual middle names?

Or Eden?

Did you decide on the girl name btw?

Shae is Irish

Are you thinking of Sé? Shae is a bastardisation of Shea, the surname, and I think is usually used for girls.

How are you getting Saaaarm from Psalm? Where’s the R sound coming from?
I wouldn’t use it. It’s very Kardashian.

How about Bodhi?

And we would prefer 1 syllable if possible, certainly no longer than 2.

I’m stumped.

If it helps, my DS (dear son) #1 is called: Brody Rocco Shae.

(Rocco is a Saint, Shae is Irish).

So far, Psalm is the only other name we can think of.... but neither of us are overly keen on how it sounds! Saaaarm... It’s not the most attractive of naming sounds! Xxx
