Riley

[Zebraa]

...for my DS2. Opinions pleeeeeeeeeeeease?

DS1 is Charlie btw.

10 of them in dd's class in Surrey

10 in ONE class?

What part of Surrey?

at dinny

it is a joke, right?

ONE, sorry

"come here, Riley!"

"no, not you, that Riley!"

"What me, miss?"

"No, the Riley next to you, Riley"

ad infinitum

i wouldnt think it would be very popular in Surrey to be really honest.....

"Riley?"

(ALL TOGETHER) "Yes Miss!"

oh no - hate those surname sounding names

its NOT chav

I like it and as long as its a good match with the surname then carry on

(also thought of lovely bloke from Buffy too )

Did post this on your other thread which everyone seems to have now abandonned!!

When I was born (over 40 years ago) it was name of our (v naughty) siamese cat which in turn was named after my Dad's favourite vintage car. Just a bit of useless info to mull over!

Doesn't sound chavvy to me just very feline!

I live in Surrey and know of one Riley at present - she is a girl.

Fine if you're using it because it's a family name (mothers maiden name or other such family connotation). Otherwise sounds a bit American and makey-uppy to me. A bit too 'cool for school' maybe. And you do risk it being a bit 2009 as well. But if none of these things matter to you then it's fine! It's not offensive in any way, just a bit, well, ahem, not as nice as Charlie shall I say?

Although (and I may have this wrong) but did you say your other option is Rodney?
In which case Riley is better I think.......I think?

Any other options on the table?

I like it.

I love it!!

Yuk - Stereotypical chav name. This thread is asking for honest opinions and that was my very first thought.

one at dds school....always makes me want to sing "its the life of riley, doo,doop etc" and do a bit of a jig

It always reminds me of the lead singer off of The Lightening Seeds, his son was named Riley and their song Life of Riley was about his birth/babyhood iirc. I thought it was quite cool in the 90's and had no idea it was common/popular these days or considered chavvy.

My friend has a son called Riley James, he's lovely. It's not a chavvy name where I live, don't know of any others, although I'm sure there are some, but it's not very common.
