Riley or Bailey?

[VO7777]

Just looking for opinions on the nicest one? Thanks :)

The Riley that I know is a girl, and the Baily is Baily-Rae, also a girl.

I'm not keen on either, particularly as they're not strong boys names imo.

Riley is much better. Don't know any children named Bailey but I do know two dogs.

For a boy I prefer Riley.

For a girl I prefer Bailey.

Actually realised have only heard Bailey as a girls name as well. It was on one on educating yorkshire .

Joey/Joe much better!

I prefer Bailey.

I have a ds named Riley he has a very classic middle name.

I really like Joey/Joe/Joseph

I prefer Riley as the only Baileys I know are labradors.

Surnames as first names is as a tradition old as time in Scotland so you don't to pay much heed to the appalled 'oh but they're surnames' reactions.

I think both Riley and Bailey go better with your surname than Joey. Although I do like Joey (biased!). I think Riley sounds best! Riley Wakeman rolls off the tongue nicely.
