I spoke to someone at work the other day, her daughter goes to school with a Lake, a River and an Ocean.

Must make geography interesting...

AuntieStella · 10/08/2023 19:27

I'm not much of a fan of surnames names (at all) but think they can work on boys.

But I don't think this one would work even on a boy (let alone a girl) as it would just sound like a geographical feature with just about any surname.

Is it the sound or the meaning that attracts you?

IDontLikePinaColadas · 10/08/2023 19:30

Is your surname Phoenix by any chance?

DappledThings · 10/08/2023 19:31

Silly.

AMessageToYouRuby · 10/08/2023 19:32

I like it. Easy to say, easy to spell, natural and not too pretty. I like the unisex aspect.

Probably depends on your style.

Actress Lake Bell.

KirstenBlest · 10/08/2023 19:32

A bit wet

ColourMeBlue · 10/08/2023 19:33

I love it 😀

gjg · 10/08/2023 19:35

I'm a teacher, with quite a conservative taste in names but I like it, I think it's really pretty!

Busubaba · 10/08/2023 19:36

Awful.

user11121314 · 10/08/2023 19:48

not going down as well as I'd hoped

Like it! As pp said, actress Lake Bell comes to mind.

DramaAlpaca · 10/08/2023 20:04

Very surprisingly for me, I actually quite like it.

VinEtFromage · 10/08/2023 20:06

About as much as I like

river
autumn
willow
summer

etc etc.

they're not names.

SoupDragon · 10/08/2023 20:15

I think it's awful. I don't think it's a particularly nice sounding word.

ForeverYellow · 10/08/2023 20:18

I actually like it . Very serene . I like Lake better than River .

Missingmyusername · 10/08/2023 20:20

Leia ? Not a fan of Lake….

rempy · 10/08/2023 20:21

We want Lake and River to get together and make a Puddle...

Hiddenvoice · 10/08/2023 20:21

I think it’s lovely and if you like it too then great! Go with what you like and what you think works for your baby!

mathanxiety · 10/08/2023 20:24

It's no worse than Brooke.

There are nicer naturey names out there all the same imo.

Brotherlove · 10/08/2023 20:25

I like it
