Baby Names

River

How does everyone feel about River as a FN? I like it for a boy but the only one I knew of was River Phoenix. I did, however, meet a little girl named River June and thought it was adorable.

  • It's different. It might grow on me.

  • It's on my list of boy names. I've loved it for years! S/O likes it too, but we have one other name that keeps being bumped to the top.

  • I actually LOVE it, but it's not quite my style so I wouldn't ever use it.

    I tend to think that many "nature" names are genderless-- so IMO Willow, Sage, River etc and be used for either.

    Ohh, duh. I love it but my husband thinks it's too out there. It's not like it's a made up name or something.

  • Eh... When a kid has a name like this, it always makes me think that the parents were trying really hard to be "cool" and "different" with their name choice.

  • I love it! And for as much as I love nature names, I can't believe it wasn't already on my list.

  • I think of River Tam from the Firefly series. I dig it for a girl, don't understand it for a boy.
  • Love River Tam and River Song (Firefly and Dr. Who) and would totally name a girl after either of those characters.

  • I LOVE River....I like it more for a girl though.

    But that's because I'm a Firefly & Dr. Who fan....

  • I like it, but I am a Dr. Who fan, and there is a girl on the show called River, so it doesn't sound strange to me.

  • I'm neutral.  I wouldn't use it but I wouldn't side eye it if I heard it.

    Only if it's a girl and your last name is Song [;]


    But even for her, River was more of a nn.

    I love Doctor Who, but I might side eye a River.
  • My sister almost named her son River. I'm so glad she decided on Kyler instead. Its ok I guess...just not my style. It sounds to hippy-ish.
