Well, I don't think it's cheesy or Hollywoodified. Or bland or played out.
River for a girl is a little Hollywoody IMO, but for a boy it's sort of like
Rowan or
Sage. I mean, I guess maybe a little bit 'bland or played out' but not really any more so than
Jack or
Henry or
Oliver is.
Sorry I don't like Rivers at all though.
Brooks is very similar but not as bad.
