Meaning: (River, From the English word that denotes a flowing body of water. The word is ultimately derived (via Old French) from Latin ripa "riverbank".)
Origin: (English (Modern), English Nature Name)
Pronunciation: RIV-ər
Gender: Uni-Sex (Male & Female)
I actually quite like River. I like it more as a female name but it has been used as I said above as a Uni-Sex name. There are men with this name. When I see the name River I think of two well known T.V Characters with this name River Song (A.K.A Melody Pond) from Doctor Who and River Tam from Firefly T.V Series and the Serenity Movie. Both are kick butt characters so it gives rise to the belief that the name though gentle and a nature name it can be used on an out going take charge character. Though it could also be used on a nature fairy or on a simple normal modern person. It's like a real River it goes with the flow, it's really all about how you make the character appear to the reader.
