Is this too unusual?
| Sun, 08-15-2004 - 3:38pm |
We are having our fourth boy and are struggling to name this little guy. My husband was born in Spain (Spanish mother, American father) but has lived here in the US most of his life. He has a Spanish name. He likes Joaquin for the first and I have chosen River (I like the nature type name) to be used for either first or middle. When we run "Joaquin River" past our family and friends they all freak out. Although we would probably call him River, I worry that people will think we named him after the actor brothers River and Joaquin Phoenix. What do you think? Last name is Branch. thanks for your input.

All that said, I do like the style you've picked, and really like Joaquin. What about just calling him that, with maybe Quinn as a nn? If you can post your other boys' names, that would help too! I hope I didn't sound harsh...I didn't mean to be. I like your names, and I know you want real feedback. I'm having my 3rd boy, and will be posting ideas too, so feel free to comment!

I have no problems with Joaquim, but calling him River with the last name Branch is a little too much.
