River is preferable to Cohen.

Cohen is not only too close to Chloe and it's a name that is sacred to some Jewish people so it may be offensive to them. I would advise you to do some research on Cohen before deciding.

Cohen River

I agree, unless you are Jewish I would not recommend Cohen. River is sweet, I think River Ray would be nice!!

Voted River bc Cohen is too close to Chloe, imo. I like the 1 syllable word middle name pattern!

River Drake over Cohen Ray, but I find pairing River with Drake to be a little too descriptive since a drake is a male duck and ducks are often found along rivers. River Blake perhaps? or Conan Ray?

"Cohen is offensive because it isn't just a surname, it is a hereditary title. Cohens (Kohanim in Hebrew) were the priestly class during the era of the Temple in Jerusalem, and were responsible for directing daily religious practices. ... Kohanim traditionally have special responsibilities within Judaism: they cannot marry converts or divorcees, and cannot come into contact with dead bodies. Because it is a hereditary title associated with special privileges, no Jew would ever use this as a first name, and it is in extremely poor taste for gentiles (non-Jews) to use it for the same reasons. It comes across as being extremely ignorant of our culture at best (a lot of people have never met a Jewish person before) and intentionally antisemitic at worst."

I hope that helps!

River Cohen might be a nice option 🤔
