So he's 17 months old now. I've had a moment of clarity and realised that Riley is a chivvy name. Poor boy. Sorry fella.

Name trends change. If you like it other's opinions shouldn't be a problem. Can't say I know of any Rileys so maybe it's a regional connotation?

I like it!! Fwiw i know lots of very well to do families with offsprings given names considered 'chavvy' by many. Riley is fine. As long as you like it, who cares!! :)

I think there is a slight element of chav there but I actualy really like the name Riley! Don't worry about it, as long as you like it who cares!

Do you like it?

What do you call him? Doe he have a nickname?

not commenting on chariness or not, but if you really don't like it, then change it. What does your dh say?
