Riley...Masculine enough for a boy?
- I love it!
- It's okay.

So if you really like it, and that's your only hang up about it, I definitely think of Riley as a boy's name first, and a girl's name second. I think it's suitable for either.
I really like some boy names for girls (Talbot, Chandler, Reese, etc.). But I don't think that makes the name too girlie, it just makes it a name that is shared by both genders. I still love Cameron, Avery, and Bailey best for boys. Obviously, there are some names that have become too feminine, that were once boy names (Meredith, Lindsey, Mallory, for example - hmm, three of my top five girl names - how interesting).
Anyhoo, I think Riley is certainly masculine enough for a boy, even if it isn't my style.

Good luck to you!
