  • Nature names have surged in popularity, and this one flows with particular grace and strength. Unlike more delicate botanical choices, it evokes constant movement, adaptability, and life-giving force. The name suggests a free spirit, someone who charts their own course while nourishing everything they touch. It's gender-neutral, which appeals to modern parents seeking to break traditional naming conventions, yet it carries a distinctly poetic quality. There's an inherent peacefulness to the name—think of quiet streams and gentle currents—but also power and persistence, as rivers shape entire landscapes over time. For parents who love the outdoors, value environmental consciousness, or simply want a name that feels fresh and contemporary, this choice offers symbolic depth alongside its beautiful simplicity.
