Either I am having one of my more hippy-woo hormonal moments or following pure logic without perhaps common sense, but...

All my 3 DC's have names whose meaning involves water, as does one of my names. I only found this out after #3 was born. Mostly I have chosen names cos I like the sound of them.

Would it be daft to choose only from names that have this connection for DC#4; and could anyone help me out with suggestions? So far without including my 3 I have;

River
Avon
Douglas

I know someone called Shore, which I think is nice. Also, a Fintan whose middle name is Ocean and a man called Asker after the river.

Sorry not been checking up on this past week. Thank you all for replies, appreciate the funnies .I was very nearly a Rosemary myself, mumofeishtplusfour .

Have been starting to feel baby move, hope we find out the sex at 20 week scan.

DH is actually the one coming up with the most unusual names. Yesterday he came up with Delphine- he liked the sound of it but it also means Dolphin! There are tons with a water connection, so it is not getting any easier!

I am having fun with a mental baby name list just now, no doubt when it pops out it will look like a George
