Love it. Beautiful association with the actor despite his sad end.
Funny how people don't like names that are nouns of other things but forget all names originally meant something. We're all constantly looking up name meanings. Names aren't just a random collection of sounds.

I just like it for a girl.
The old man river and River Phoenix connections put me off for a boy.

Take into account the surname.
It might not be great if your surname is Banks or Trent or something

What about an actual river name?
Isis ( would work for boy or girl) or Ure or Niall?
Maybe Medway for a girl?
