Very cool name for a girl. Not sure about it on a guy, though. Technically makes sense as a masculine name but despite all odds I've always viewed it as a woman's name. Also reminds me of the Duran Duran song which is a huge plus in my book. I feel like you just know that if you meet a woman named Rio she is going to be the raddest woman you've ever met.

My name is Rio, there is nothing wrong with the name Rio for a girl. My mom thought it would be a very sexy and mature name for when I got older. I am 29 years old and I still get compliments on my name all the time. Everybody loves it and I think it's beautiful, unique and pretty.

My daughter's name is Rio. People around here really love it. She loves it too. She likes being unique. She has told me numerous times how glad she is that I did not name her a normal name like Chelsea or Britney etc. My daughter is in her early twenties so she's not a little girl, so it's not like she doesn't understand that her name is different than other people. And to tell the truth, I don't think you could pay that kid to change her name. She loves it.

I really like the name Rio for a girl. It sounds exotic and it does bring back memories of the song by Duran Duran. If you're Spanish, maybe you only view it as a boy's name. I'm not Spanish and don't think of River. Rio is a very popular name for girls in Japan, which translates to "Jasmine" in English. So, view it how you wish. I picture it as a beautiful girls name.

I am Brazilian, and even though I've enjoyed visiting Rio de Janeiro, I don't think I'd name my kid after it. It would look ridiculous. Besides, to a lot of people, "Rio" reminds them of Hollywood's weird image of Brazil - you know, soccer, favelas, and women wearing fruit hats.

I like this name for a boy. It would only look good on a Hispanic boy though. It's pretty cute and I can see a middle aged or elder man with it too:)

Rio is a man's name? Well Duran Duran's famous song "Rio" was about a woman called Rio ("Her name is Rio and she dances in the sand...."). So can it be a girls name.
