Coriander? I actually never knew that this was a name! I like it (might want Cori as a nickname just to be on the safe side), but I can’t tell if it’s a girl’s name or a boy’s name.
This name is on my guilty pleasure list (for a girl). I think it's adorable and has the nickname options of either Cori or Andie. I'd never be brave enough to use it though.

This name is full of spunk and provides two decent nicknames: the obvious Cory (or Cori) and Andi. It sounds like a very strong feminine name, or a strong masculine name. I, however, like it on a girl.
Coriander is an awesome name, and you could always shorten it to Cory or something. But this name sounds so masculine, and is better on a boy.

This feels more like a masculine name to me and I usually treat it as such. Also, I'm pretty sure when I looked it up on a different name site, it was listed as masculine. No matter, I absolutely love this name, whatever gender it is.
Some names ending in -er sound feminine, like Amber, Piper, and Winter. This isn't one of them. It sounds masculine to me. On the other hand, it doesn't sound like a name to begin with, and it just seems weird as one.
I am not exactly sure why you would name your child after a spice. That's kind of weird. Kind of reminds me of Koriand'r from Teen Titans aka Kory Anders. Hm.
