So my brother-in-law has decided to name his gestating daughter “River”, after River Tam from Firefly.
When asked, he replies, “That show has had a profound effect on my life.”
We got him the series on DVD for his birthday last fall.
So, in essence,
The only disappointing thing about it all is that now we can’t use the name, should the opportunity arise.
Kaywinnit Lee Lucas… hmmm…
Inara is still available. As is the gender-neutral Jayne.
But my pick, strictly aesthetically, is Simon.
I would never name a daughter Inara because that actress is so bad.
Gorram it!
As is the gender-neutral Jayne.
Gender-neutral? As River herself pointed out, even 500 years from now “Jayne” is still “a girl’s name.”
Point taken.
I went to high school with a collection of Rivers, Meadows, and Sunshines.
Hippy.
I was sure surrounded by them.
All of which has me pleased, but also glad it wasn’t Hogan’s Heroes I introduced you to. “Klink” is a terrible name for a little girl.
