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. :)

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.

Aside from the planets name in FF. I've always liked the name Arial ever since I read the book "Arial" about a unicorn written by Steven R. Boyett. Published in 1983 by Ace Fantasy.

ahhhh.....my oldest son's name is Calvin. Yes, he was named after the Calvin and Hobbs comic strip.

I so fought against this as it was hubby's idea. Then he was born and I took one look at him....LOL

Oh my he's adorable, and reading the newspapers at such a young age...

As far as can see, River on the series didn't have a middle name, but Kaylee is actually Kaywinnet Lee,

How about River Ka...

no, only kidding

River Lee Sherwood

has a pretty kind of rhythm to it. Do you definetly know its a girl? what are you thinking of for a boy?

Ariel's a great name, but I just want to point out that in its original language, it was a man's name.

It means "lion" in hebrew.

How about Yolanda, or Saffron?
Yolanda River would sound better than the reverse.
River Saffron also sounds good.

Though to be honest whatever name you choose to go with 'River', you'll probably meet someone in the future who's grown up next to an actually river by that name

thanks for the compliment on my last name. I was so happy when I got to take my husband's name when I was married. My maiden name was Seamans, so you can imagine what it was like in Junior High. I'm thinking of Roland Thomas for a boy. I won't find out if the baby is boy or girl until around valentine's day, during the 20 week scan.So,I have a long wait ahead. By the way, the little boy named Calvin is incredibly cute! :)

I like River Kaywinnet. And who cares if she is named after a tv show character?

I was named after a movie character who was raped and became pregnant with the rapists child. Yea, mom loved the movie and the character, and it was a terribly hot summer, and she didn't want to think any more.

I'm casting another vote for River Tamblyn. That's really pretty. *considers stealing it*

And as for the whole debate over whether or not you should name your children after characters...I think it's a great idea. Of course, my husband and I plan to name our daughter Kaylee Jayne if we have a girl.

Incedentally, we plan on Logan Connor if we have a boy...Wolverine and Highlander. Now THAT'S fandom.

Cauis and Chrisisall.

I'm amazed you both liked Persephoney as a name! I made this suggestiong to my girlfriend about kids/girls names and she just gave me a look that could cut through high grade perspex and said DEFINATELY not!!!!

River and Persephoney work really well together in terms of the Myth - which is why I thought it had a nice ring to it, but *Shruggs* there's some good ones here I must admit....

Yolande! That's a good alternative :D also it's my mums name.

I'd just like to point out that the usual English spelling is Persephone (no 'y'). With the 'y', the name ends 'phoney', which is not a good thing.

Anyhow, I really like the River Tamblyn idea. I don't think that name would lead to any significant grief among her young peers.

Besides, kids can make a joke of anybody's name if they want to. Just ask any Donald born after the mid 1950's. Perfectly good name ruined by an irascible cartoon duck!

How about River Miranda Sherwood? It a works.

whoever came up with the name "Persephone" for a childs name should be shot, or at least defiled by a genetically altered rhino for even suggesting that name.

Some of those other names suggested will only get your daughter into fights at school.

It was Kal-El, Superman's Kryptonian name. :) I'm not sure if he went for the hyphen, though.
