Not currently expecting but planning for the future. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I have decided our next will be named [name_u]River[/name_u] whether it’s a boy or a girl. It’s one of our favorite names and we definitely want to use it.
Currently have a boy named [name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_u]Greyson[/name_u] and a girl named [name_f]Kylie[/name_f] [name_u]Ever[/name_u].
If our next is a boy he’ll be [name_u]River[/name_u] [name_u]Hayes[/name_u].
I’d like something traditional and feminine for the girl middle name. No nouns. Something 1-3 syllables.
Names I’d love to honor:
[name_u]Allison[/name_u]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_f]Sara[/name_f]
[name_f]Alberta[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_f]Adela[/name_f]
[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_f]Amelie[/name_f]
[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_f]Catrina[/name_f]

[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_f]Emily[/name_f] would tie in really well with [name_f]Kylie[/name_f] [name_u]Ever[/name_u]! Both middles start with E and [name_u]River[/name_u] rhymes with [name_u]Ever[/name_u] while [name_f]Kylie[/name_f] rhymes with [name_f]Emily[/name_f]!

[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] would suit you perfectly! But also…

I like River Emily or River Allison as both unexpected and pretty - otherwise River Katherine or River Kate.
I wouldn’t choose Margaret because it’s a well-known river (in Australia) but not sure how annoying this advice is - and prob avoid Alberta or Adelaide own (as opposed to using something similar) as makes it more like a place (ie a river in Alberta or in Adelaide). But I do like the flow (I stepped into that) of River Adelaide.

Thank you! I want to make sure it sounds like the name of a person and not the name of an actual [name_u]River[/name_u] so appreciate it.
[name_f]May[/name_f] be plain🤷♀️but I like the classic [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] as middle name.River [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]

Honestly I love that too! I like the balance between the gender neutral first name and the classic feminine middle name.
Well it turns out my last name is also a river in Australia 
I’ll probably still use [name_u]River[/name_u] but yes very important to have a middle name that isn’t also a river
