Comments for the name Rio (1)

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.

Also 80's singer Yess (she sings "the only way is up" by the way) has a daughter called Rio.

Rio Ferdinand is a famous football player in the UK. He plays for Manchester United.

If I have a daughter, I want to name her Rio. I think that it is such a lovely name, along with it being a beautiful Duran Duran song. :)

Quite pathetic and again, not a given name.

Rio Pacheco is one of the main characters of the 80s TV show "Jem and the Holograms".

A movie called Rio is coming out about parrots or some tropical birds trying to get to Rio de Janeiro. I'm not sure but I think the main character bird is named Rio too. So now I picture a blue parrot with the name Rio.

Love it. Only on a boy though.

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:)

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.
