Like the name, but not my favorite spelling. I'd prefer Riley, mostly because the double Y spelling really adheres to the current add-a-Y trend often used to feminize masculine names, KWIM? Still a good name, though.

We are thinking of using Riley if we have a boy. I don't like the spelling Ryley...I much prefer Riley. I agree with Kelli's post about the "Y" trend going on these days. It drives me crazy!

I really really like Riley for a little boy, not so much spelled Ryley though.

I definitely like Riley. I think it goes well for either gender, which is totally ok...I'm also considering naming my girl an...(do they call it androgyous?)name. I did consider Riley as well for either a girl or boy, but our last name is Lee so it wouldn't work!

I like Riley on a boy, but why did you stick the "y" in their? I totally don't get why people misspell names. Riley would be nice, Ryley makes it look feminine and misspelled IMO.

i love it. I actually suggested it to my husband for our son on the way, but he said his parents' abnoxious next door neighbor would think the baby was named after him.
