Ryvre?

Would you say that Ryvre is more acceptable as a name because it's spelt different to the actual word River.
And no, I didn't make it up I found it spelt this way on a names list so I assume it's legit.
TIA

i didn't understand that it was supposed to be River until I read the post. And to answer your question; No.
If you want to use River spell it River.

Not really, no.
River is perfectly acceptable name spelt the way it is.

No, it looks awful sorry. Misspelling something just looks very illiterate, River is fine as it is.

I didn't make it up & I'm not trying to be tryndee, I've actually seen it spelt like this on quite a few baby name lists now. I love the sound of the name River but I thought spelt this way it's not so obvious that you're naming your child after a 'body of water'. Just like how some people add an 'e' onto sky (Skye)to make it more of a name than just a word from nature.

People will still hear "River" no matter how you spell it and misspelling such a common word is going to seem ridiculous and add confusion.
I may not be the most conventional in my naming choices but I can't understand the appeal of intentionally misspelling a name. Any baby name site that lists "Ryvre" as a legitimate name choice would not be one I would rely on for naming any future child.

I think it best to go with River. I would not pronounce Ryvre like RIver. I'd pronounced it Reev-ruh.

I agree.
Ryver... maybe. But Ryvre... nah... . I mean, how do you pronounce "vr"?

Why can't people leave spellings as they are?
River is a fine name. Spelling it Ryvre just completley ruins it.
