I love both names. They're on my 'would use' list for girls (Rowan is currently my nonexistent first daughter's name) but I like them on boys well enough. I've liked Rowan for a girl for a long time- when I started liking it all I knew was that it was a tree, and I didn't know it was more common for boys. I've used River on a few female characters, and then there's River Tam... :P
A boy Rowan would be shy as a kid and then more boisterous as he grew up, and he's have brown slightly curly hair and tan skin. A boy River would have straight brown hair, be skinny but not awkwardly, and have a good sense of humor but be sort of quiet. A girl Rowan would have long brown hair, be tall, nice, and scholarly; when she grew up she'd be slightly aloof but not in a bad way. A girl River would have brown hair, be short/medium height, friendly, and more athletic; she'd become slightly less athletic and more professional as an adult but still be friendly.
