Thoughts on this name please!

[Amy891]

Hey,

We’re thinking of calling our girl River and our second name is Robertson. We love the name River but aren’t 100% sure yet about ‘River Robertson’.

Any thoughts appreciated!

Thanks ,
Amy

Riva is lovely!

I would think boy especially with the surname... Think I would go with something more overtly feminine when Robert is in the surname..

Riva makes me think of Viva Las Vegas!

Too many RRRRs for comfort, and what if she can't pronounce R?
Also River is more usually a male name.

But, apart from that, it's lovely.

Too many R’s

That’s a bit of a tongue twister with all the rs

I don;t really have an opinion on the name River, but I think River Robertson does not flow at all and is a real mouthful. It isn't the alliteration, it is the number of syllables or the sounds somehow.
For example, Rachel Robertson flows fine. Maybe it is because it ends in an R

I don't think it works with your surname. Sorry

I don't like the name River, and definitely not with the surname.
I'd expect her to be a boy.
Wivew Wobertsson or Vivev Vobertson.

It's a bit wet but as pp it flows.

Normally not a fan of names like River but I think it really goes together and I really like it.

It's a bit porny.

A bit tongue twister-y to me. Difficult to say aloud

This would be the deal breaker

I think Rivers ok, but all the Sky/Winter/River/Summer names are getting overuse and naff
