But Rubicon is really goated river name
Rubicon is just an inherently GOATed word in general. It punches you in the mouth on its way out, and you thank it for it.
Big fan of the Dnieper. Always loved how it sounds.
Shenandoah is another good one, it has a good old and easy going feel, just like the river does
Ohio is also a banger Name as well as the POTOMAC flowing into CHESAPEAKE BAY. the britsh should have had the curtancy to take some natives with the to name things … we could have been spared Many Queen Ann Islands, Prince Henry Peak.
If you don’t think humans are good at naming rivers I gotta say, you’re in de Nile
Volga for sure makes the list
DON - DNEPR - JENISSEI - LENA - REKA PUR - TAS - ANGARA
:chefkiss
Orinoco, Paraná, Yangtze, Volga
“river river” is an all-time classic
Euphrates is another all time great. Especially when it comes paired with the Tigris
Gambia, the river so nice they named a country after it
And then you have the Po, which is remarkable for how silly it looks and sounds.
Po is like the one exeption , litterally ass in german. and its such a magnificant area he flows through… its a tragegdy. you expect better from the Italians “Lago Maggiore” / “Adria”
Its tributaries have nice names, too. Dora Riparia, Tanaro…
Danube!
The B kinda harshes me. Does anyone along the way use it? Donau, Duna, all prettier.
Orontes!
An tSionainn is classic, of course, as well as all her daughters, but the Three Sisters: an Bhearú, an Fheoir, and an tSiúr are pretty lovely. An Bhanna is a personal favourite.
Athabasca and Assiniboine are pretty great, as is the Don’s Anishnaabe name Wonscotonach.
Wolastoq is pretty excellent, the people who live there are even called the Wolastoqiyik because of how excellent a river it is.
Where I’m at we have East River, West River, Mill River (because there was a mill on it), they were kind of lazy with the names. Other good names are Short Hill, Long Hill, and most of the town names are just copies of names where the settlers came from.
We mostly have [name of city] River. We’re not that creative.
Seems like a good list of names to use for naming small starships
El Rio Bravo Del Norte has a name that makes it clear you should not fuck with it.
Three’s some good rivers near me that have names in the local Algonquin language, but I’d basically be doxing myself.
