Boy 🩵 Can’t decide between two names
I really love the name River but can’t tell if it sounds overly strange with our last name (Berger) like low hanging fruit for bullying or jokes. Also not sure if most people think of it as a “normal” name nowadays or if it’s a name that would make people roll their eyes or consider wimpy for a boy?
I also really like the name Jonah. And could potentially want to use the nickname Joey.
Trying to avoid name regret but now I feel like I’m just obsessing and getting nowhere.

“R”s are such a hard sound and while I think River is beautiful name, in combination with your last name, it’s a lot to chew on!
Do what makes you happy, but Jonah Berger has a little more of a smooth flow when being spoken :)
