I like your first choice -- Oliver. The middle name sucks though... It's better than Barnabas.

Rhys is the traditional welsh spelling  

Quoting shes*almost*one!:" I like your first choice -- Oliver. The middle name sucks though... It's better than Barnabas. "

Barnabus is a dog in a graphic novel I like. Hubs wants Barnaby for the character in the music man.

WHY did I have to introduce him to musicals? WHHHHYYYY??? ;-) LOL

I'm a fan of alliteration, so I kinda like Orion Oliver (or Oliver Orion) and some combo of the R names (Ransom River, River Rhys, Rhys Ransom, etc., and vice versa). Of the list you provided, Oliver Linus and Oliver Barnaby are tied. I really like a lot of these names! LOL

Quoting Devil Duckie:" it's the traditional spelling. "

I know....I'm not saying it's bad or wrong just that I don't like it

I have extreme initial OCD. No matching initials, but thanks

cool.

Some folks don't know.

I think Reese looks too much like a boys name turned girls name. I hate that.

I knew a Reece, with a C. He was an utter smurf, but it's another option, hehe.

LMAO noooo

Rhys is Rhys. I don't do alternatives, even when they are valid LOL I'm a one way of spelling kind of mama.

And I wonder why people think I'm such a pain in the ass.... No, actually I don't wonder that. it makes me giggle.

Quoting Sofia's Mummy♥:" I love both Oliver Barnanby and Sagan."

i agree!

haha... wow.. your husband wants to name your child after a character in a musical? that kid is going to get beat up every day, and his head stuck in a toilet while the kids flush it (a-la swirlie!) --- poor little barney is going to havea rough life.

The only one I don't care for is River Orion.

The only Sagan I have ever know was a girl so I think of it as a girls.

I like theo, oliver,I like kieran rhys but also seems typical.

Quoting Devil Duckie:" Here are all the names we either sorta agree on or one of us wants. I'm stuck on Oliver, but Eh. I can ... [snip!] ... side. Yes, Linus is for the peanuts character. this is my husband's choice and I've tried to talk some sense into him. "

I like Oliver Barnaby and LOVE River Orion. Really handsome!  

I like River Orion and which I find odd because I hate the name River. Oliver Barnaby is nice too.

I honestly don't think anyone in 10 to 15 years is going to know what the music man is. Especially in school. Unless Wall-E is still very popular with 5th graders.

However, I do think that the name is pretty teaseable. That's why I'm trying not to use it.
