If you go for river please spell it correctly.

WitchyKitten · 19/10/2018 17:13

River is definitely an option as we're undecided on the spelling of that one.

I would make Jasper the first name and go for Jasper River.
I also like Pixie Grace

dyla · 19/10/2018 17:14

Ahhh I love Phoenix and Nova!!! Lovely names.

I absolutely love Prince.
Ocean is okay but I would prefer it on a girl.
River* is okay (not Ryver)!

Pixie is nice.
I absolutely love Lux.
Not keen on Lulu, too cutesy.

I'd choose Prince and Lux.

Frosty66611 · 19/10/2018 17:15

River and Lulu (don’t like the Ryver spelling though)

jq28 · 19/10/2018 17:15

Pixie grace and jasper river

Sexnotgender · 19/10/2018 17:18

Also Ryver wouldn’t be pronounced River.

MollyHuaCha · 19/10/2018 17:18

I prefer names like...

Catherine and Samuel
Penelope and Sebastian
Miranda and Thomas
Meredith and Edward

Quizeerascal · 19/10/2018 17:19

I'm not overly keen on any of them I'm afraid. I think Phoenix and Nova (and Jasper and Grace) are all much more sophisticated than any of your suggestions for your DTs. I also think that Phoenix and Nova will suit your dc as they grow where as names like Prince and Pixie are quite childish.

Lulu is a great name if its short for something, Lucie/Lucia/Louisa etc, which also all go really well with Grace. I prefer River to Ryver, otherwise Rio meaning River could work?

Thumbcat · 19/10/2018 17:19

River is fine if you spell it correctly. I don't understand why you would want to make up a new spelling.

I can't imagine a grown up woman wanting to introduce herself as any of your girl choices.

I do like your other children's names though.

Quizeerascal · 19/10/2018 17:21

Also Lux is a toiletry brand

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/10/2018 17:24

I really dislike them all, so sorry ! I prefer the middle names you're going with as first names.

Like a pp said, I can't imagine a woman introducing herself as any of those names. Or the boys names actually
Sorry they're just not my style at all

Namechange8471 · 19/10/2018 17:24

Phoenix and Nova are lovely btw.

But I don't like any of your suggestions for next babies...

Maybe see other posters will have suggestions.

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/10/2018 17:26

Also River and Ocean seem more feminine to me

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/10/2018 17:27

Actually wait, isn't River Phoenix a person ? So if you already have a Phoenix I probably wouldn't go with River

auntyflonono · 19/10/2018 17:34

Jasper and Delilah

auntyflonono · 19/10/2018 17:35

Lux is a washing powder.

WitchyKitten · 19/10/2018 17:41

Ah ok so none none of them have went down particularly well Sad

The middle names have been picked as they're people who are important to us but we don't love either of the names themselves so they definitely wont be used as first names

OP posts:
Cbeebiesrehab · 19/10/2018 17:42

Jasper is lovely and I dont mind River when spelt correctly. I think both names go with your existing children’s names. I’m not sure about your girl names though. I would maybe have a rethink.

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/10/2018 17:43

Do you like Juno for a girl ? Juno Grace sounds nice and it goes well with Phoenix and Nova

I'm rubbish with boys names

Cheeseplantandpickle · 19/10/2018 17:48

Jasper is an excellent name.
Of the girl names... pixie I suppose.

AllViewsMyOwn · 19/10/2018 18:09

None of them, use the middle names as first names. The names on your list seem like much better middle names

Cbeebiesrehab · 19/10/2018 18:12

Out of interest, why are you thinking of spelling River, Ryver?

LethalWhite · 19/10/2018 18:15

They are all awful, sorry.

Think - in 10 years time you will have two 10 year olds. In 20 years time you will have two 20 years olds etc.

Do you really want them to be called Ryver and Lulu???

huttub · 19/10/2018 18:39

Are you pronouncing ryver rye ver? Or river? Either way I don't like any of the boys names nor girls, they're too far out for me. I love Nova though!

If I had to choose it would be River and Lulu!
