Our [name]Baby[/name] Boy will arrive in the next few days and we are still struggling with a Middle Name. We have decided on [name]River[/name] as the first name to go with our last name of [name]Gilbert[/name]. We were thinking about giving him a middle name that was a bit more traditional than [name]River[/name] in case he was not comfortable with [name]River[/name]. However, I also love nature, colors, and names with lots of meaning. Dad is from Belgium so might want to incorporate something there (French or Flemish names).
Here are the names we are considering:
[name]River[/name] [name]Luk[/name] [name]Gilbert[/name] ([name]Luk[/name] means light, Flemish spelling)
[name]River[/name] [name]Vince[/name] [name]Gilbert[/name]
[name]River[/name] [name]Kai[/name] [name]Gilbert[/name]
[name]River[/name] [name]Byron[/name] [name]Gilbert[/name] ([name]Bryon[/name] [name]Bay[/name] is where we got engaged)
Congrats!! I really love the name [name]River[/name], and I’m also loving the name [name]Ocean[/name] right now! lol As far as a mn, I’m not fond of the Double Vs in [name]River[/name] [name]Vincent[/name]. I love [name]River[/name] [name]Kai[/name] though! [name]River[/name] [name]Byron[/name] is nice too.
I love [name]River[/name] [name]Byron[/name] as well! I went to [name]Byron[/name] [name]Bay[/name] over the summer when visiting my mother’s various Aussie relatives and it was one of my favorite stops!
My parents named me after [name]Magen[/name]'s [name]Bay[/name] where they honeymooned and I have always loved that connection. So my vote is for [name]River[/name] [name]Byron[/name]!
