You'll know that the most populaer name for a river in the UK is "Avon" (and that includes the Welsh ones that are "Afon") but do you know what Avon means....River!

So we go on the River River....

IMd -= quit Muddying the Waters please!

8. I want to know your answer since mine (Marne & Oise) is apparently incorrect.

Maine- no yours is spot on correct - these are indeed the two main rivers I had in mind so not sure of why there is confusion but I apologize for any - unbeknownest to me - you did more than answer but told exactly where.

Cheers!

There was also River Phoenix, Doc Rivers and Larry Rivers.

And for IMD - the River of No Return!
