It's less than ideal

CorporalJones · 25/05/2009 18:53

Riley?
Really?

muggglewump · 25/05/2009 18:55

I thought it was a boys name?

nickytwotimes · 25/05/2009 19:10

No.
Horrible name, sorry.

Paolosgirl · 25/05/2009 19:11

Did you make up that spelling?

Ronaldinhio · 25/05/2009 19:13

never except perhaps for a joke

magbags · 25/05/2009 19:14

Blimey-o-Riley springs to mind. I'm not keen n this for a girl or a boy tbh.

Lilymaid · 25/05/2009 19:20

It's my mother's maiden name and is a standard spelling for a surname - but no, it isn't a good name for a girl "Old Mother Riley" etc. Also the name of a long defunct British car manufacturer.

jkklpu · 25/05/2009 20:03

bad for a boy and awful for a girl

jellybeans · 26/05/2009 11:18

Not that keen but Rylee is better than Riley.

Blimey - no!!!

random · 26/05/2009 11:32

I like it

frazzledgirl · 26/05/2009 15:45

A family friend has a girl named Ryley. I think it's horrible, sorry.

Paolosgirl · 26/05/2009 19:11

Eeeuurgh - another made up spelling.

Pineapples · 26/05/2009 21:52

I like Riley for a girl or boy, and it's not 'chav' at all.

Sidge · 26/05/2009 21:57

No, I don't like it for a boy or a girl.

RachieB · 26/05/2009 23:45

Bad enough for a boy IMO !

PrincessLayer · 27/05/2009 01:10

Buffy the Vampire Slayer had a boyfriend called Riley.
And Ian Broudie called his boy Riley (see themildmanneredjanitor's post)
I think it is a great name.
And so does my son.
