[name_m]Hi[/name_m],
I have an 8 year old daughter named [name_u]Sky[/name_u] and a 6 year old son named [name_u]River[/name_u]. We have a 3rd on the way and found out it will be a girl. We want to keep with a nature theme and since Water and [name_f]Air[/name_f] are covered we wanted something land related. We are currently trying to choose between:
[name_f]Savanna[/name_f] (without the H) (a little more popular than I would like)
and
[name_f]Valley[/name_f] (wonderfully unique but I’m afraid every person she meets will say “[name_f]Valerie[/name_f]?”)
Thanks!
Of those two, I would choose [name_f]Valley[/name_f] I think because of [name_f]Savannah[/name_f]'s popularity. I think [name_f]Valley[/name_f] goes better with your other names & [name_u]Val[/name_u] could be a cute nn. Some others that could work,
Some other landforms:
[name_u]Vale[/name_u]
Vista
[name_f]Mesa[/name_f]
[name_m]Cove[/name_m]
Islet
[name_u]Dell[/name_u]
[name_m]Ravine[/name_m]
Of the land:
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_u]Elm[/name_u]
I think [name_f]Valley[/name_f] goes really well with your other names, it’s adorable. I agree with the reply above, [name_u]Val[/name_u] is a cute NN.
First I just want to say that I love both of your kid’s names!
Of your two choices I think [name_f]Valley[/name_f] fits better.
If you’re open to suggestions what about something like:
[name_f]Bluebell[/name_f]
[name_f]Briar[/name_f]
[name_u]Cedar[/name_u]
Evergreen
[name_f]Fern[/name_f]
[name_m]Forest[/name_m]
[name_f]Lavender[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilac[/name_f]
[name_f]Maple[/name_f]
[name_f]Meadow[/name_f]
Rosebud
[name_f]Saffron[/name_f]
[name_f]Willow[/name_f]
[name_f]Savanna[/name_f] is nice, but both quite popular and a bit of a spelling hassle with the missing -h most people are going to assume is a typo or add automatically.
I love the idea of [name_f]Valley[/name_f], but also think [name_u]Vale[/name_u] is a superb option to avoid the [name_f]Valerie[/name_f]-thing. [name_f]Valley[/name_f] is also a little shorter, and so is a better match with [name_u]River[/name_u] and [name_u]Sky[/name_u].
[name_m]Cove[/name_m] and [name_f]Mesa[/name_f] are lovely suggestions, I want to add [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], [name_u]Glade[/name_u] and [name_u]Prairie[/name_u]. [name_f]Tundra[/name_f]? [name_f]Terra[/name_f]? [name_f]Gaia[/name_f]? [name_f]Petra[/name_f]?
Maybe some kind of mineral or gemstone name would fit as well? I’m partial to [name_f]Garnet[/name_f], but [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_u]Mica[/name_u], [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_u]Silver[/name_u], [name_f]Goldie[/name_f], Lazuli, [name_f]Agate[/name_f], [name_f]Beryl[/name_f], [name_f]Celestine[/name_f], [name_f]Galena[/name_f], [name_f]Jade[/name_f], [name_f]Olivine[/name_f], [name_f]Topaz[/name_f], Citrine, Violane, Syenite and [name_f]Peridot[/name_f] are all gorgeous ^^
I like [name_f]Valley[/name_f] 
[name_f]Valley[/name_f] is a much better fit.
I like [name_f]Valley[/name_f] best of your options, but I definitely agree with the above poster that [name_u]Vale[/name_u] would be a great alternative. [name_u]Sky[/name_u], [name_u]River[/name_u], and [name_u]Vale[/name_u] are a great sibset!
I like [name_f]Valley[/name_f] a lot! It’s so pretty.
With [name_u]Sky[/name_u] and [name_u]River[/name_u] I’d probably suggest [name_f]Lark[/name_f].
I like [name_f]Valley[/name_f], and also love the suggestion of [name_f]Meadow[/name_f].
Of these two I prefer [name_f]Valley[/name_f]. But I really like the previous suggestions of [name_u]Vale[/name_u] and [name_f]Lark[/name_f]! Good luck!
