Rivers Cuomo on the Origin of his Name :
"My mother didn't give me a middle name because she wanted me to be able to choose my own. I never got around to it."
My first name, according to my mother, came to her when she heard the sound of the Manhattan River outside the hospital window immediately after giving birth to me.
According to my father, I was named after 3 players in the 1970 world cup: Rivelino, Rivera, and Riva. My dad missed my birth because he was at home watching Italy play on tv."
