What do you think about the name River (probably for a middle name) for either a girl or a boy?
I personally love it more for a boy's middle name with a really masculine first name, but I think its nice for both sexes.

I LOVE the name River :)
I had heard it when I was younger but then I learned about River Pheonix and I fell in love with it.Fell for both of the Pheonix brother :)
ok enough blabbing, lol, I think it goes best for a boy but could go for either.

Sorry. I'm always going to think "slightly psychotic genius girl who rips up Bibles". Just the association I get.

I like it, but I actually prefer the spanish version, Rio, for boy or girl. :)

I'd say it was feminine. It's very pretty; I wouldn't use it for a first name, but it'd make a lovely middle one IMO.

Ditto, I utterly adore it :)
Have done for years, it's my most consistent fave boys name. Would use it as a fn, with a traditional/masculine mn (my top picks are Adam or Thomas).
It's wonderful as a mn too.

Don't think it's that feminine, but guess it could work on a girl.

Rio is sweet too, would make a nice nickname.

I like it but I definitely associated it with boys just because of River Phoenix.

I love River for either a boy or a girl. I am considering Rivers (with an s) for a girl if I have one, i like it.

River Phoenix - male
Rivers Cuomo - male

Enh. The name doesn't really do it for me as a first name, but as a middle name it might not be too bad.

I really love the name River. :) my husband and I really like it for a boys name..and if we have two boys that will be the second boys name. :)

I also like it for a girls middle name. I knew a girl I went to school with and her name was Anita River. I always thought it was pretty.

I love that name. Very nice.

I had never thought of Rio, but since someone already mentioned that, that is very nice too.

I personally like it, but I'd go with Rivers for some reason. I like that more.

I do agree with it being a good middle name for a boy.
