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, equally. I think it's a very cute boys or girls name.

It seems better suited for a boy, but it works for either gender. I would use a very masculine or very feminine middle name to avoid confusion.

We're considering it for our first son's name.
Unisex, and I like it on both. If I used it, it would probably be for a girl, though.

to me it's better on a boy! I can tolerate it on a girl somewhat. If I have no son's my daugther will be named River.

I prefer River as a boy's name. Its very earthly.

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.
Neither, sorry!
