[Opinions] Re: Reeve (f)
What's the point? Just name her Riva or Reva or even Reeva and let nature take its course. Anyway, back when reeve was an occupation, it would have been male-only, if that matters.

It was the name of one of Charles Lindbergh's daughters. It was a family name. That was the point.

Charles Lindbergh - my goodness! The other point is that family names aren't necessarily for general use. Would anyone see that a Lindbergh daughter answered to Reeve and decide to use it themselves? I suppose it's possible, but surely it never caught on?
