Middle name for River

[heyitshol]

Hi all. After considering middle names for Ada I'm also thinking about first name River. Any MN suggestions? Thanks x

River Rose is lovely.

How about...

River Elyse
River Annie
River Alissia
River Willow
River Skye
River Anais

Can you imagine a 50 year old woman introducing herself as River?

Why about a 50 year old man called Cloud, like that one off YouTube.

What about Ada River, with River as the middle name if you like Ada.

If you are calling your daughter River, think carefully about the middle name and surname otherwise it will sound like a place name or a type of plant (e.g. River Eden, River Willow).

Do you have any middle names you are considering?

Amy

Amy was River’s mother on Dr Who but most people wouldn’t make that connection.

I don’t get all the ridicule to be honest, while I probably wouldn’t choose it myself River is a lovely name for both a boy or a girl. A friend of mine has just named her little girl River Lily.

I love geography but my DS oxbow lake hates his name.

I know YOU think it's a lovely name, but chances are your daughter won't (esp as a teen/adult) I wouldn't like it to be my name, and I have 3 girls and they all said ewww. (the youngest is 18)

However, if you are determined:

River Jade
River Leigh
River Mae
River Charlotte

Something fairly conventional, because she may not like River - and it’s mainly given as a boys name

River Rose is nice actually - or River Rosanna etc, River Rebecca, River Grace, River Pearl, River Frances, River Iona, River Esther, River Clara

River Pema
River Pearl
River Gypsy

River Sophie

I like it. But it's a difficult name to pair with as a trad name sounds odd with it and another nature name sounds too themed.

I think it works with single syllable middle names e.g.
River Jane
River Rose
River Joy
River Grace
River Faith
River Jade
River Niamh
River May

Cory
Laurence
Albert
Simon
Finn
Arnold

Something traditional. Definitely not a flower or plant name. Not a filler middle name either. Something with some weight.

Catherine

I have now read the thread!

Kim
Scout
Estella
Selena
Zelda

River Marie?
I'm struggling to find names that flow with River (unintended pun, sorry!)
Ooh, River Fern?

River Jade
River Faith
River Grace

I've always loved Song as a middle name for River.

😂😂😂

It's not a name I'd choose as it just reminds me of Doctor Who

Phoenix

But to the PP who suggested 'River Gypsy' come on now...

Thames

River Ting
River Ring Anya (Prayer)

I think it sounds wet.

Brooke is better but I'm not keen on it
