A friend recently had a baby boy and named him River.

I'm not sure if it's a disaster or cute?

I like it on a girl. To me it’s absolutely not a boys name.
I started a thread saying a friend named baby London and it got deleted. People were saying how dare I start a thread about a baby that’s not mine. Crazy world we live in:)

I know of 3 boys called it in the past 5 years.

I wouldn’t use it. Ive seen online a few girls with babies called it. It’s usually accompanied with a -Mae -Rae -Rose
I can’t imagine it on a boy at all!

Not my cup of tea but doesn’t affect you.
