River is an awesome boy’s name! I think it will age well even though it’s a newer name.

To me it’s all boy.

I think it can work for both, easily, it just looks like commonly it’s a name for a boy.

I think it works on either. I’ve known 2 people named River, both were girls. But it’s one of the few names I think can honestly go either way.

think it’s great for either. I don’t know any in real life, but there’s an actor named River (man) and a character in a tv series/movie named River (woman). So I can easily see it on both.

Kelly Clarkson named her little girl River Rose on June 12, 2014. So cute!

It reminds me of the male actor River Phoenix. In all actuality, though, I’m not a fan of the name for any gender.

I find it all boy. I mean, you CAN use it on a girl, it’s a word name so doesn’t have a traditional gender (that I know of), but I like it a lot better on a boy. Just seems all masculine to me! :)

If you’re pronouncing it Rye-ver, then boy. If you say it like the word river, which I against you mean, then girl.
