Are these too much? Too hippy?

I’ve recently fallen in love with these two names for little girls:

[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_f]Serene[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]

I feel they’re too much. Are they too hippy-dippy? They evoke beautiful imagery, but I’m thinking they’re a bit too noun-heavy and celebrity-baby-name-ish. But at the same time, I really love them both.

What are your honest thoughts?

I love them all separately, however, together I think they are much too noun heavy. I can paint a very vivid picture in my head of each. Try coupling them with a different middle.

[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] just sounds overly sentimental to the point of being meaningless. Not to mention that when “[name_f]Rose[/name_f]” is in the middle after a noun, it looks like a verb!

[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_f]Serene[/name_f] is little awkward sounding, but lovely in a hippie way. Is it “too” hippie? No. [name_f]Rainbow[/name_f] [name_f]Aquarius[/name_f] or [name_f]Libra[/name_f] [name_u]Dancer[/name_u] would be.

I like winter rose but I have an autumn rose ( the rose is my moms name) and we just thought it was a pretty combo. Follow ur gut

Like badwolfe said, they’re lovely on their own but become a bit too much of a mouthful when put together. Here are some options that may work with your theme though:

[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]
[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_f]Serene[/name_f] (or [name_f]Serena[/name_f]) [name_f]Roxanne[/name_f] (Though I’d use [name_f]Roxanna[/name_f] on [name_f]Serena[/name_f])
[name_f]Serene[/name_f] [name_f]Coralie[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] (still has the -rose meaning)
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]

Hopes this helps you out!

[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] works just fine. I’m not really into putting two word names together, but this one doesn’t seem too hippy or anything. I love [name_u]Winter[/name_u], whereas [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is just meh to me.

[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_f]Serene[/name_f] does seem a bit much and kind of celebrity/hippy inspired. To be honest, it’s more the fact that both names have two syllables that bothers me the most.
I prefer [name_u]River[/name_u] [name_f]Serenity[/name_f], just for the flow, but I know that doesn’t have the same feel.

[name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] sounds pretty to me but I see [name_u]River[/name_u] as a boys name.
As for [name_f]Serene[/name_f], I knew a girl named Placid. Her mother said “But she isn’t!” Using [name_f]Serene[/name_f] seems to place a burden on the child. Maybe she won’t be the least bit serene… which will be pretty funny.

We are assuming that your last name isn’t a ‘word’ because [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_u]Early[/name_u] would be a smiley.
I knew a girl named [name_f]Summer[/name_f] Remembrance $mith. She found it a bit embarrassing especially because her father made it up!

It’s very important to visualize any name on a teen and on an adult because these sweet little babies do grow up. What if [name_u]River[/name_u] marries Mr. [name_u]Green[/name_u]? Of course in that case [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_u]Green[/name_u] also might cause her to retain her maiden name! Or [name_u]River[/name_u] [name_m]Bush[/name_m], [name_u]River[/name_u] Trump, [name_u]River[/name_u] [name_u]Cruz[/name_u]…HAHA (I’m watching the Republican debate here in USA)

I think the names are beautiful but not together
Name ideas
[name_u]Juniper/name_u
I named my 3 year old [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Emily[/name_f] Lox
[name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
[name_u]Saige[/name_u]
[name_f]Harlow[/name_f]
[name_f]Willow[/name_f]

I agree with this, 100%

I think [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is really lovely. Normally I would say to be careful about 2 word names together, but I think this one really works! [name_u]River[/name_u] [name_f]Serene[/name_f] does sound a bit much, though not impossible.
