Sibling for River...

We have a little girl called River but we're struggling to find a name for baby number 2.

There are a few names we like that are also along the nature theme which is DH's preference but I favour more traditional ("normal") names, so we're struggling for options that we both agree on.

Boy and girl names needed please :)

Rowan (for either sex) would be great imo.

If you go too traditional after River it might seem odd: are your names simple or more out there?

Whatever you choose don't make River the outlier.

Congratulations Flowers
