And we can't settle on a name!

What are people's thoughts on the following for a girl..

River
Halle
Rory

Suggestions welcome too 🙏

I always associated Rory with a boys name but apparently it's becoming more popular for girls.. my DH loves it but I also wonder whether it would be better as a NN for Aurora/Aurelia..

Rory is a boys name!

Out of them I only like Halle but as another poster said I'd write it as Hallie the others are a bit too trendy for me

I like Halle but I’m a teacher and have taught one almost every year so that slightly puts me off. I like boys names as girls names and I love Rory as a boys name but don’t like it for a girl sorry. I would go River as I absolutely love that name. My other favourite at the minute is Renn 😍

Aw my third child is River, she's 6 and a feisty little superstar... so River gets my vote ☺️

Not Rory , kids would think of Rory the racing car 🏎️ animation character. River is lovely

River is lovely but becoming very very common I know three little Rivers.

Halle feels like it is spelt wrong and should be Hallie. Reminds me of the parent trap.

Rory I feel is a boys name. Maybe Aurora and Rory for NN?

Rory is a boys name. Hard no from me. The others I’m not sure will date well…
