Noah, Riley won't date well Imo.

Haha yes rivertam! I would put money on your prediction coming true. Noah is more popular among young boys rather than babies in my recent experience. I haven't met / heard of a Noah under the age of 2 in ages.

But most people will say no to Noah because too popular, and no to Riley, too Amercian.

Noah but only by a smidgen Smile

I like both but if it concerns you, Noah seems to be mega popular (even round here, where no-one deigns to give their child a popular name, there are quite a lot), so I'd go for Riley.
