I like River. Ryan is okay. They run together terribly. Rivarayan.

I like River.
I don't mind the alliteration, but the ending R of River + the initial R in the surname probably makes the full name annoying to say out loud.

I love River, prefer it for a girl. But River + Surname is a true tongue-twister.

Normally I like alliteration, but not with Rs. Since our last name starts with R, it has influenced how much I let myself like R names. No Rosalies or Rorys over here. :)Ignoring the alliteration, I think it's an odd combo. The names don't suit each other.

I have an R alliteration name. :P

Agree on all points.I understand loving a name and wanting to use it even if your last name doesn't work, but people still need to have common sense. Luke is off the table because it runs into our last name.

Sounds like an old Chevy trying to start on a cold morning.

I quite like alliterative names if they flow nicely together but this doesn't. Also, a very difficult name to pronounce in many other countries. I think his parents have done him a bit of a dissservice there....

That's a lot of R right there, I imagine it's quite the tongue twister saying River Raresurname out loud. I do like River.

I'm all for alliteration (all of my names begin with M), but there is something so very off with this name it hurts!And I dislike the ambiguity too - although in England Ryan is firmly a boys name - I am aware that in America this name could be seen as quite unisex.

I'm guessing boy? Actually I'm hoping boy, because I can't stand either name for a girl! River I do really like a lot, but Ryan is kind of dated and boring imo.

Don't like it! Love River, hate Ryan!
