My husband and I used this name for our daughter we spent months going through al the girlie names in the books and none of them stuck.. We watched the movie Serenity and the girls name in that was River and it stuck with us. Our families had they're comments to make but we loved it and now have a River Grace.

by pattizorrOur last name is Cruz..... does River Cruz sound too corny? We love the name River, but probably for a girl.
by niemeyere01I've loved this name forever and finally we are having a boy!
by amber444duhWe want to name our baby this if it is a boy but I have no idea what to use for a middle name... any ideas?
by aaronandrobinWe named our daughter River Jean. Everyone joked they would call her Creek or Ocean. They said she would hate us for picking that name for her. She is eight now and she loves her name! It suits her very well.
by beckiwarrenI like Liberty River for a girl, and I'm not even a hippie. ;)
by fxf6314in love with the name river, for a first or middle name. i like the nickname rio-which is spanish for river.
by bawagsI've never thought of this name for anyone other than a boy, but my husband is absolutely in love with it for a girl. I do have to admit, it has really grown on me in the past few months and we have River Anne at the top of our list if this kiddo in my belly is a girl. We have a 9 month old named Mia. Boy's name picked out is Wyatt.
by LeedanieB1My husband and I love this name. We're almost positive this is what we're naming our baby, if it's a boy. I don't care that my best friend makes fun of it. I love differen,t unique names, after all, out daughter's name is Corgan.
by aslagle2We are naming our son River Micah... well if it's a boy, that is yet to be determined... 8 more weeks til we know.
by smithladueWe are leaning towards this name for a boy, so cute. Even if people call us HIPPIES!!HA!
by ekwlv@yahoo.comI love this name. This what we are naming our son even though my mother & her boyfriend makes fun of it.
