    Our Sweet Boy

    After much anticipation we welcomed our sweet boy, Rivers Boyd, June 30 at 10:52 PM. Weighing in at 7 lbs 3 oz and 18 1/2 inches (pretty small considering I was 42w 2d!) We're totally smitten with him.

    Congratulations! I like the name Rivers. I checked your posts to see if I could find your naming story, and I saw Rivers was on your first name list and Boyd on your middle name list at least since April. Do you mind sharing the story of this name? I think River is the only name I like equally well on boys and girls, and so for that reason I probably wouldn't use it; but Rivers, maybe because the 's' lends it surname status, shades the name more blue, somehow.
    Congratulations on a healthy baby boy and a handsome name choice! Best wishes.

    Very cool name choice! Congrats on your little guy's arrival! My dad's middle name is Boyd and my mom has always wanted to change my middle name to match his...

    Congratulations! I absolutely love Rivers as a name--so much more cool than River, imo--and Rivers Boyd is a really cool combo!

    All the best!

    Thanks everyone!
    Our naming story is probably boring. My husband & I agreed on the name Rivers when we first started dating. My husband wanted a name that was rockstar worthy and we brought up River but thought the S made the name more masculine.
    Boyd is actually my maiden name so even though it is a boy's name in this instance it's a family name. My husband says that if our baby becomes a rockstar he can drop our last name and go by his first & middle, haha.

    Sure, it could work on a rock star! I think it's an all-around good choice, though, because Rivers Boyd is a cool yet distinguished-sounding name that would work for an author, artist or professor, or for a carpenter, welder or race-car driver--or a rock star!
    Best wishes!
