It's a surname and I think it should stay a surname. My only association is Diego Rivera.

I just keep wanting to say Riviera, which sounds like a cheap "conceived while on honeymoon" type of name.

Would that be RIVera, or Riviera? Either way, it's awful. River is bad enough, but pinning an A on the end for no good reason makes it ludicrous. As for choosing the gender ... really, if you take a word name and stick on a typically female ending, what do you expect people to do? Cry out in rapture 'At last! An -a name for a boy that isn't Isabella!'?The only combo that comes to mind is Niall Rivera; that is, assuming you want it to be a male name.

What has gotten into you??But really it's not necessarily a word with a "typically female ending" tacked onto the end, it's a surname, which, historically, WOULD make it masculine.

I think it's a very strong last name that should stay a last name.
It sounds pretty alright for a girl. It would turn some heads. However, it doesn't sound overly rare. Not sure if it would age well.Middle name picks:Rivera Maria
Rivera Joy
Rivera Noel
Rivera Jean
