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.

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.

Badgerina · 03/10/2012 00:18

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 ... ;)

nooka · 03/10/2012 05:18

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...
