What do you think of Riley Thomas For a boys name? My mom thinks Riley sounds like a girl's name. What do you think?

This is actually one name that I like equally well for both genders. Riley is a tradtional boy's name, but has grown more popular for girls. Last year for girls Riley was #72 most popular name and Rylee was #170. For boys Riley was #105. There are still plenty of people out there using it for boys, but even more for girls.

I don't know if I would do it. Names like this tend to move towards the girls then stay there. Too bad, I think Riley is adorable for a little boy!
