What do you think of when you hear these names?

[Warrickdaviesasplates]

I'm down to my top three boys names for DC3, both DH and I have different favourites although I do like all three and could see myself using any of them.

A little inspired by the Jasper/ James / Jonah thread, I was wondering what kind of person you would picture when hearing these names:

• Heath
• River

-Ragnar

Heath - fine, not for me but fine
River - but hippy
Ragnar - WTF?

Heath - Ledger
River - Phoenix
Ragnar - Thor Ragnarok

Heath - hippyish, surfery, handsome kind of guy.

River - Phoenix. Seems popular at the moment but I'm not keen. Heath obviously has the Ledger connection but seems more of a name in its own right.

Ragnar - some kind massive beardy Viking travelling around in his longboat raping and pillaging. It's quite an intense name.

Heath and River I would think probably a quite middle class, but slightly hippy parental background. Ragnar, I guess I would think the parents really liked the show Vikings (unless I knew they had a Scandinavian background), and I'd kind of feel a bit sorry for them, much like I'd feel sorry for people named after GoT characters!

*'kind of massive beardy Viking' rather than a kind massive beardy Viking

Pretentious - all 3.

Go with Heath. That’s a nice normal name.

Definitely not Ragnar.

Heath - Ledger
River - River
Ragnar - Vikings

Heath and River both fine. Not my cup of tea but not too out there

Ragnar is awful. I agree with the big beardy Viking vibe.

• Heath - popular kid, quite sporty, a lads lad
• River - mummy's boy, shy, socially awkward, sensitive

-Ragnar - loud, opinionated, brutish

Heath Ledger
River Phoenix
Ragnar is terrible...

I’d think you were obsessed with movies and movie stars!

Heath - an ex boyfriend so I can’t get past those associations
River - hippyish parents.
Ragnar - Scandinavian roots. Love this name.

Ledger
Phoenix
Ragnar?!!!!! What?

This is like Daniel, Sean, Balonz #2

I would also think Heath Ledger and River Phoenix but that association will lessen as younger generations won’t be so familiar with them.

Agree with pretentious.

Heath- Hampstead
River- hippy but the best of the three
Ragnar- reminds me of bottled water

Ragnar is my friends dogs name.

Other too a bit too whimsical for my own tastes but nice enough.

Ragnar is absolutely fab! You should definitely choose that.

Not keen at all on Heath or River, too Geography GCSE for my taste.

• Heath - Heath Ledger
• River - River Phoenix

-Ragnar - Viking from The Last Kingdom series

As a name for a child I like River the best for the sound but it's a bit hippy. Heath is the best for an actual child that has to live with the name

Never heard of Ragnar. I wouldn’t know what to think!

I like the other two names. I would assume you were quite alternative, hippy parents (that’s not a bad thing!)

Heath - best of the 3
River - I would think not a great name - trying too hard
Ragnar - don't know if this is from GoT etc but if it is I would think No!

Heath - too much like Keith
River - wet
Ragnar - not familiar with it

Boy. Deffo more boy than girl names. Earthy. Practical.
