Rylee or Eden

For a boy, I like these two.
They would have a more 'proper' middle name, either Anthony or James

What about Beau Riley?

Chavvy

Both a bit awful. As a teacher I would definitely roll my eyes at the sight of a child on my register called Riley spelt Rylee...

The only Eden I know is a girl.

Can't imagine a child of either name becoming a high court judge.
Riley (spelt the less chavvy way) is your best option.

Sorry to be blunt but you wanted opinions.

TheWeeWitch · 11/09/2017 23:31

A suggestion that takes in all your choices: Rea Lee Blu. Is perfect.

Rylee is awful, sorry. I don't mind Eden for a boy, but not with Anthony. Anthony Eden was Prime Minister from 1955-57.

I like Rylee but with a more grown up surname like James. Can be shortened to Lee

I would assume they were female names.

brapbrapbrap · 11/09/2017 23:10

I know two male Eden's, and one female who changed her name to Bede- because she felt that Eden was a male name.

Pottytoes · 11/09/2017 23:07

What about the old prime Minister vibe Anthony Eden
I do know a male Eden in his 30s. He's South African
Rylee is just naff. What about Kyle?

TallulahBetty · 11/09/2017 22:25

RILEY is awful and overused. (Rylee isn't a name.)

Eden is a girl's name.

feral · 11/09/2017 22:23

Rylee has to be the worst name I've seen suggested on here and there have been some stinkers.

If you have to use the name - which is ok when Riley - spell it properly or saddle your kid with a lifetime of spelling it for people and people judging you.

Rylee spelling is also more a girls name imo.

Eden is also a girls name!

TwitterQueen1 · 11/09/2017 22:23

I do love these truly awful name threads..... Wink

Chavvy, girly, ridiculous - but it's not my baby so go ahead and name him whatever you want OP!

It's not the name that makes a person yooneek btw, it's their character and personality. You don't need to lumber an innocent child with a millstone round its neck for life.

Quickqu · 11/09/2017 22:22

Awful, especially with that weird spelling.

Don't do it to him. People will judge.

Parker231 · 11/09/2017 22:21

Never heard of either as children's names. Sound like surnames. Wouldn't be my choices as names.

PurpleDaisies · 11/09/2017 22:20

Rylee is a horrendous spelling of a fairly average name. I don't like Eden.

Riley would get my vote.

BigGreenOlives · 11/09/2017 22:18

In my experience they are both girls names. Finally the tide has turned & boys are being given girls names Grin

OhTheRoses · 11/09/2017 22:16

As someone else said recently. There will be many many more of those on the wrong side of the bench than the right side suppose it depends which you think is the right side though.

brapbrapbrap · 11/09/2017 22:13

Rylee looks like you either can't spell, or you're a chav. Riley is the correct spelling.

GinIsIn · 11/09/2017 22:12

Why not go all out for the worst name in history and have Rylee-Blu?

pilotswife · 11/09/2017 22:12

Both awful. Riley passable if spelt correctly

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 11/09/2017 22:10

Both sound quite effeminate if I'm to be perfectly honest

Alisvolatpropiis · 11/09/2017 22:00

Rylee is utterly dreadful. Riley is perfectly fine. Neither Riley nor Eden are to my personal taste but I'd be inclined to use Riley of the two.

If the Rylee spelling is non-negotiable then Eden, without a doubt.

00100001 · 11/09/2017 21:56

Eden

I think Rylee looks better than Riley, could use Lee as a nickname

Eden is a woman's name.
