I support anything - up to and including you naming your daughter River - that furthers the spread of the Firefly/Serenity universe.

What about River Phoenix? After River Jude Phoenix (the brother of Joaquin Phoenix).

River Tam is enough to make me not like it. I like Firefly, loved the movie Serenity, but she's my least favorite character.

In all, the name isn't bad, though. I like River Caroline, River Elizabeth, or River Marie. I think it needs a frilly mn.

I LOVE it! I admit, ever since I saw Serenity I've had the name stuck in my head. I like it for both a boy and a girl : )

---

River Ruth wouldn't sound very good though, haha.

---

River Gaia - Beautiful, very nature connected, I like it.
River Eustacia - Nms.
River Elspeth - Great! Has a nice sound.
River Iris - Nice, but sounds a bit off to me.
River Amabel - Beautiful.

River is one of those names that I wouldn't use for my own child, but I think soudns pretty neat on someone else's child. I have a real affinity to water bodies, so I think River has a somewhat mystical, ethereal sound to it. Because of that association, I'm going to say that I like River Gaia the best out of the combos you've listed. And also because the combo two of the elements: water and earth. You need a combo that has something to do with fire and air to go with it. ;)

It fits either gender in my opinion, so I don't like it. If I can't look at a name and say "That's a guy, definitely" or "That's definitely a girl", I don't like it.

---

River Iris sounds nice, but I would choose a more common mn to give a choice of something more people are used to.

--See my profile for my adopted PP's--

I love River, and always for a girl. (I dislike word names on boys.)

---

Of the combos, I think River Gaia sounds most fitting. It's lovely.

I only like the name River for a boy. It's not at all feminine to me.

I sure could go for a Tang. - "Down with Love"

I love River on a girl and I actually met a girl by that name so it makes it usuable for me. I Like River Amabel the best.

I'm much more a River-for-a-boy person because I've known a boy River, but far be it from me to fault your logic. ;D

---

I think River Eustacia is my favourite of the ones you listed--mostly because Eustacia's just really, really cool! Some other ideas:

---

River Maude
River Viorica
River Lucasta
River Antonina
River Patience
River Thalia
River Aglaya

---

Now I've given you some that may be more my taste than yours, heh. If all else fails, River Tam sounds really cool, and no one but other Firefly fans will get the reference.

`Cause they understand
If I could take one moment into my hands
Mister, I ain't a boy--no I'm a man,
And I believe in a promised land.

Not a huge fan, to tell you the truth. However, if you did use it, I would pair it with a common middle name to give her an option. The middle names you've picked are too "odd" with River, IMO.

---

What about:

---

River Jayne
River Janelle
River Lauren
River Christine
River Kate

I'm not fond of River on a girl , i try to make myself [i adore it for a boy, it will be my future sons name, I think Rivers is cuter on a girl. I have River down on my girl side of the list too, i really want the name to be used! LOL

River Eustacia is nice
