River is my favorite. I like it on either.

---

Aspen - either. It's neat except the first syllable sounds too much like
Rowan - a favorite of mine for a boy. I think it's blah on a girl.
Indigo - a fad from a decade ago or more, not my style but it's not horrible. Either
Sage - I'm not into it, but it's alright. I like it more for a girl but either is fine
Hawthorn - eh, not namey at all imo. Sounds like an uppity surname name rather than a nature name to me, since hawthorn is poisonous.
Ember - it's a fad but I like it. Girl only
Briar - I think it's ugly. better g than b, but the existence of Brian legitimizes it as a b name
Winter - sounds malevolent to me. I might get used to it. Better g than b
Forest - nerdy, but I think likeable - I like for b much more than g but it's unisex
Sky - I like Skye for a gal. Sky on a guy is alright, tho better if a nick for Schuyler / Skyler. Sky for g as a nick for Skylar. I'm picky
Ash - boring and not naturey IMO. Either
Juniper - I find it very annoying and unappealing. Seems like a gal name.
Rain - I feel like it is too much of a "falling" image, too melancholic or "inward", to be a good name. Rayne or Reign is better (e). Rain seems more girl to me.
