Help[Opinions] Re: Riley
in reply to a message by Amandine
I used to really like this name. I still have a soft spot for it. I do prefer it for a boy.
But to me, it has gone the way of Justin in that it comes off as a name belonging to whiny young boys. Unfortunate, really, because I like both names, but the image they conjure for me ruins them a bit.
No, I don't think a boy would have to constantly explain himself. I know plenty of boys and girls named Riley / Reilly / Rielly / Rylee / Ryleigh, etc. I think spelling would be the bigger issue.
The rye part does not bother me, and I'm not sure why it should.
