We know children called: Kelsey, Taylor x2, Devan, Finlay, Riley.

No to the lot!

(btw they are girl, boy and girl, girl, boy, boy in case you were wondering )

[Alouiseg]

Lol, ds came home from his first day at secondary school and announced that he was friends with Riley and Taylor.

Dh thought the boys were being referred to by their surnames!

[padpadpad]

I like.

[GladioliBuckets]

Hmm, up there with Bailey and Chelsea really.

[Bucharest]

Not.
No surname is nice as a first name.

[Ewe]

Definitely not.

Quite common - in all senses of the word!

[seaturtle]

Love it.

[tortoiseonthehalfshell]

Not. Cheap and trendy. Although I might be influenced by a woman I know who named her son Rylee.

[mathanxiety]

Not.

I know two dogs named Riley (retriever and Irish setter), and one unfortunate little girl.

[debaronz]

Sorry but I don't like it.

[padraig]

Love it

[janeite]

Not

[bonkerz]

my nephew is called riley and its a good name and he is a lovely natured boy! 4 years old too so before the 2008 list lol

[lelarose]

Love it. Would use it myself but partner not keen.

[ChippingIn]

I wasn't too sure when my friend told me they'd called their DS 'Riley', but I like it now - it might help that he's a real cutie

[TwatthewWright]

I think its lovely.

[Doozie]

NOT. Not a fan of surnames for first names. Sounds, dare I say it, a bit common.

[Nemain]

I wouldn't choose it myself, but upon seeing the name, I did immediately think boy's name.

(I was also a Buffy fan where there was a character called Riley Finn)

[swanandduck]

Don't like it. Sounds like the kind of makey up, pseudo Irish name that people in Hollywood give their kids.

[loobylu3]

Not nice I'm afraid, at least not to my taste!

[jellybeans]

Like it

[Claire236]
