Answer 19

I would guess that River or Rivers is a boy, but wouldn't be surprised to be wrong.  Nature names tend to be fairly gender neutral.

According to Baby Name Guesser, it's 34 times more common for River to be a girl.  

That's fairly gendered by the BNG scale - Jennifer is 54X more likely to be female and Mary is 157X more likely to be female; Jordan is 2X more likely to be male and David is 20X more likely to be male.
