About Ryver
The traditional spelling of River is currently in the US and the UK Top 200s, where it ranks as a solidly unisex option. Ryver, with it's on-trend Y has yet to catch up, but it with both Winter and Wynter ranking very similarly in the US, there is the possibility it might gain more traction in coming years. While its similarity to Ryder and Ryleigh might lead to possible mispronunciations, Ryver is currently given to around 70 girls - and to 80 boys - each year. One bearer of the name is Ryver Bey, a young, up-and-coming rap artist and performer.
