Re: River, Rivers, Riviera and Relic
in reply to a message by Ismene
River is not bad, as far as noun names go. I'm not generally a fan of word names, but nature-y ones are by far the best of the bunch. And River could be quite cute on a girl.
Rivers - I hear plural-of-river before I hear surname. So it just sort of sounds silly.
Riviera - frilly and trying-to-be-hoity-toity sounding :) I could see it being used, but I feel like I might assume the parents were low-class and trying too hard.
Relic - hm. Weird. Noteworthy. Again, not a fan of word names and this one doesn't have the nature aspect to save it. Plus it's kind of religious. Is that the angle you'd be going for? I don't know, I don't think I could appreciate this one.
