It's a boys' name to me because I automatically think of River Phoenix, but I can see it on a girl, too (but it's just nms).

Either, I love it on either sex. Can't make my mind up if I prefer it male or female.

Unisex, and I like it on both. If I used it, it would probably be for a girl, though.

To me it is truly androgenous. It would be equally appropriate for a boy or a girl. I might prefer it on a girl, just because I am big on strong names for boys and River seems a little hippy-ish/soft.
