I promise, this is a Firefly related question. I'm pregnant with baby #2 and if it's a girl, I'm naming her River. Does she have a middle name, or does anyone have any ideas?

Nothing wrong with "Tam" as a middle name, it seems to me...

Ummm, lemme see...

Tam?

Phoenix?

Dance?

Walken?

Brooke?

Jordan? (or, 'Thames' if you're Brit, or 'Styx' if you're all gothical (or Greek))

Syde?

Runs-Through-It?

Schmivver?

Okay, some of those weren't being seriously proffered; but you'll have to figure out which...

My last name is Sherwood. Does that help?

As far as Joss told us, she doesnt. River's a pretty name. River Tam Sherwood...I like it.

I know someone who names their daughter after the Firefly/Buffy verse. Morena Faith.

Well, if you don't want to sound too much like the show (and some people don't), I know a girl named Tamblyn, which I think would flow well with the name.

River Tamblyn Sherwood. Get it?

My wife and I have already decided that if we have another son, he'll be named Malcolm.
Why not do River Zoe or River Kaylee or River Glau or some such thing? Inara's a pretty middle name, of course it might influence her future line of work...
Your call.
Isn't naming kids fun?!

yup. I picked my son's name from a the movie Tombstone. We couldn't decide on a name, but then we had a scan and it said he was a boy. We were watching the movie that night and I said "What do you think of that name?" to my husband and he said "Ok" and it stuck. I almost feel guilty for not spending more time on something as important as picking my child's name. But hubby is totally for naming the baby River if it's a girl, so I'm happy. Lol, I suppose if River doesn't fit she could always be Vera Jayne. :)

I like River Inara... But then again, I'd have it- Inara River

This is fun!

WyattsMom,

I love the movie "Tombstone" and I think Wyatt is a fine name. Strong and good. I think River is a fine name for a girl too.

Can't help with the middle name though... I've tried a couple and... I dunno.
