Dr Who

Great name for a baby??

My ds suggested it.

On the other hand, I do rather like River (as in River Song from Dr Who) for our pending dd.

It would be a small nod to my ds as well, which I hope he would appreciate!

Yes River is nice.

Ds2 suggested Prince Michael for ours. Hmm

TittyWhistles · 02/10/2012 12:35

Oops..... Ayes or nays for River then?

I like River - an aye from me!

DinosaursOnASpaceship · 02/10/2012 12:37

I like River too.

TittyWhistles · 02/10/2012 12:37

Haha Ed, Yep, it was either Dr Who or "Tranna-Sauce-Rex"!

I would think of River as a boy - River Pheonix.

Quite cute. I might use it as a middle name, but not personally my style for a first name. Way better than some of the other 'nature' names out there though.

Startailoforangeandgold · 02/10/2012 12:41

Melody and Amy are nice names too.
Not Rorry!

My DS wanted my youngest to be "Digger" if a boy. Good thing she was a girl.

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 02/10/2012 12:43

Much better than Adric, too. Grin

Hey. I like Rory. DD2 could have been a Rory.

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 02/10/2012 12:45

I like Rory too!

AnathemaDevice · 02/10/2012 16:58

If DC3 is a boy he'll be Rory.

DH suggested this after I vetoed Stormageddon.

STORMAGEDDON THE DARK LORD OF ALL!!!

SoggyMoggy · 03/10/2012 00:24

I like both River and Rory. Nice names, and characters I find charming.

And hey, I grew up with a Doctor Who name and I'm only mostly insane ... ;)

I don't like River very much as a name, and I find River Song intensely annoying. Of the companions I'd go with Sarah Jane or possibly Romana I think.

weaselm4 · 03/10/2012 06:17

My Martha is kindof after Martha Jones!

weaselm4 · 03/10/2012 06:18

Dr Who is a lovely name, btw...

Yamyoid · 03/10/2012 06:37

Grin Dr Who!

Dh suggested Dr Octopus or Mendosa for DC1.

I did consider River for DC2 cos I like Rivers Pheonix and Song. But I chickened out.

TittyWhistles · 03/10/2012 08:53

Your DH Suggested Dr Octopus, Yamyoid ?? Wow, My OH's suggestions were incredibly dull, which is why I turned to DS for a name! OH doesn't think it's great though, so it might end up as a middle name anyway.

nooka I quite like River Song, I remember her being Moll Flanders which was a similar 'eyebrow archy' character (and my girl crush at the time )

Idris for a girl?

What about Torchwood for inspiration - Gwen, Anwen, Ianto, Jack?

Pasiphae · 03/10/2012 14:01

Gallifrey? quite obscure Dr who link, and work for both sexes...
