This name is so striking, I love the meaning “light for me”. It’s really beautiful, but also striking and cute, with unusual letter combos. I prefer it as a feminine name, but it also works as masculine. My only misgiving is it sounds way better in Hebrew than in an English accent, but that wouldn’t stop me from using it.
Hebrew unisex names are common, there is no need to gender them. You will probably not meet a male Rivka or a female Benjamin, but with Lior it doesn't matter as much. This is a very pretty name for a girl and nice name for a boy.

There used to be a girl in my English class named Lior. She used to live in Israel. I always liked her name, and I think the meaning makes it even better.
