Spiritual middle name for Rio?

Our family has a tradition of 3 names, one of which is a name with a spiritual meaning (the other middle name is something of Irish/Gaelic/Celtic origin).

We’ve chosen his first name: Rio.
We’ve chosen his Irish roots middle name: Kian

But we can’t decide on the Spiritual flavoured middle name.

We prefer trendy, rather than traditional names.

We had chosen (and still LOVE) Cruz ....

.... but a few people commented that Rio Kian Cruz wasn’t a good choice (using Rio and Cruz together).

So we’re stuck for an alternative to Cruz?

Psalm is the only other option we’ve come up with, but we’re unsure.

Rio Kian Psalm? What do you think? 🤔

Do you have any other suggestions for trendy Spiritual middle names?

My dc were born in England and have an English dad. I absolutely remind them they are half Scottish. My ds has a kilt in the family tartan. Dd has a Scottish middle name.
Being born in a stable doesn't make you a horse as Lord Wellington said.
Most countries don't give nationality based solely on birth, USA is very unusual in this regard.

@Bishbosh84 it's whatever you want it to be. I was only asking a question. I'm allowed to have an opinion that differs to yours😊

That isn't actually strictly true as the laws of citizenship are different in every country. Being born in a country doesn't necessarily guarantee citizenship of that country.
However, for purpose of naming a baby, cultural heritage is a far more relevant aspect of nationality than country of birth and it was clearly obvious what 3/4 Irish meant to the OP.
