Can’t you just call them Jasper & Grace?

Pinkprincess1978 · 19/10/2018 18:47

Sorry not to my taste at all. I actually prefer your girls list to boys list but they do all sound like a nick name. I think pixie would be the easiest to pull off as there are some celebrities called that.

saganorenscarandcoat · 19/10/2018 19:38

River and Pixie

Muggins123 · 19/10/2018 19:38

Topsy and Tim

C0untDucku1a · 19/10/2018 19:41

River and Pixie.

Ryver is not pronounced the same as River. And looks ridiculous.

EvieV28 · 19/10/2018 19:56

I like River! Would spell it River for sure as I'd pronounce Ryver like Rye-ver?
Lulu is lovely too.

EvieV28 · 19/10/2018 19:57

What about Lola?

finallychangedmyusername · 19/10/2018 20:08

Sorry to say I'm not keen on any of your choices. Could I please suggest the following which may suit you?:

Luna
Pandora
Apollina
Aurora
Venus
Lyra
Cassiopeia
Ember

Atlas
Apollo
Orion
Jupiter
Zephyrus
Aries

Of these I like Phoenix, Nova and
Aries Jasper
Ember Grace

They both seem to fit with your existing DC (fairly unisex mythological/outer space).

Shadow1234 · 19/10/2018 21:45

I like River as a name
I think Lux is a bar of soap
Dont like any other names

What about Neve, Astra, Aspen, Eden, Quinn, Romy, Remi, Brooke,
Morgan, Arlo, Cooper, Hudson, Lincoln ????

IzzyGrey · 20/10/2018 00:45

I love the middle names but honestly? The first names aren't great, except Lux which I adore! I'd definitely have Lux as the girls name. As for the others -
Boy:
Prince - Very Kardashian
Ocean - No, just not a name.
Ryver - Would be okay (but not great) if spelled correctly

Girl:
Pixie - cute but as a nickname
Lulu - No, not as a standalone name

Jasper is a gorgeous name, and I think Lux and Jasper sounds fab!

Sungura · 20/10/2018 04:51

I am in total agreement with the majority of posters who do not like these names. Please consider the selection of names by @finallychangedmyusername We can always give you more if you want.

moredoll · 20/10/2018 06:42

How about Ossian? The pronunciation is nearly the same.
Agree Rio is a good substitute for Ryver.

The girls names are too girly for me

mnahmnah · 20/10/2018 07:03

Love River and Lulu!

peachypetite · 20/10/2018 07:11

Ryver?!?! Don't do it.

ItsJustASimpleLine · 20/10/2018 07:34

What about
Boy:
Rider
Bear

Girls:
Aurora
Astra
Luna

I think Pixie/Ocean/Lux would be difficult names to grow up with.

Icklepup · 20/10/2018 08:36

River and Pixie

auntyflonono · 20/10/2018 11:18

Amazon and Nile?

Justlikedevon · 20/10/2018 12:06

@mamatomjl what???

CaseStudyResearch · 20/10/2018 12:10

Love the suggestion of Juno. Also think Indie, Marnie and Everly could work.

I really like Flynn or Apollo for boys names. They both work well with Jasper and your other DCs names. Other suggestions are Camden or Hendrix.

WitchyKitten · 20/10/2018 12:15

Lyra, Atlas and Apollo are lovely and I still really love Pixie despite the negative reactions.

I'm worrying a bit now that we're not going to have names before they arrive

Glumglowworm · 20/10/2018 12:44

They’re all horrible and try hard to be dippy and out there.

You can’t have a River and a Phoenix! Have you never heard of River Phoenix? But if you absolutely must then at least spell River correctly

Prince sounds like wanabe Beyoncé and JayZ naming style

Pixie is way too cutesy

Lulu is the least worst but should be a nickname not a full name

I actually quite like your other kids names! They’re not my taste but they’re nice enough names especially Phoenix

I like Jasper and Grace, and your childrens names Phoenix and Nova.

Can just about do River spelt like that, but I don't like any of the others sorry.
Prince is especially awful, it's a title!

Quizeerascal · 20/10/2018 13:47

Apparently Lulu is Arabic for Pearl, I think most people would still hear and assume it was a nickname though. Some other that could work might be

Boy
Kai (means sea in Hawaii)
Atticus
Griffith, Royce (both apparently mean Prince)

Unisex
Skylar
Ariel
Wren
Marlowe

Girl
Lana
Luna
Beatrix (nnTrixie)
Leilani
Lorelai
Pearl
Autumn
