River

[CloudyVanilla]

Am pregnant with DC 3, found out it’s a boy last week and the only name I really love is River. Thoughts?

Whovians will seeing as a kick-ass women's name.

There a heck of a lot of Whovians

I quite like it. Only on a boy, though.

You'll have a lot of people who'll immediately associate your child with a man who died on the street outside a nightclub from a China white overdose

I really like it.

I love it, especially on a boy.

Actually it’s an ancient idea to name children after animals and birds

Exactly! That’s why I laughed at the comment about not liking “made up” names. All names are made up and most have some kind of connection to the natural world, or professions. They are not random syllables plucked from the air.

I wouldn't use it but it's definitely one of my favourite "different" names

Love it. Was having this discussion with a friend yesterday, prefer it for a boy.

I think it’s a really nice name!
