River is cool! I adore Robin though so I’d probably pick that but River is very close.

I don't love either but would pick River.

Like these names but I’d pick what flows best with last name

Robin means bright fame according to my baby names app
English name

River is American and means river!

Congratulations! From what you’ve said he sounds more like a river to me

Can you post a pic, does one of the names suit him more? I’m imagining completely different babies for robin and river

River is cool in theory but I don’t know if I’d force someone to have it as their name for life. Robin is awful.

Robin as a know two girls called River. I know Robin can be a girls name but it is spelt differently.

Robin, as River is ridiculous. (Although River if you're going with 'what flows best').
