I've heard of some girls being named Riley. I think it's becoming one of those Irish last names for girls, like Kennedy. There may be girls in his class or school with the same name.

I love Garrett, especially if it is Dad's name. Have you thought about:

Connor
Mason
Andrew
Matthew

Just some thoughts. Riley is a good strong name though, so I don't think you can go wrong.

I love Riley as a boy's name! Unfortunately, Riley is in the top 20 girl names. Riley as a boy's name is #71. I still voted to keep the name. Hopefully, parents of girls will leave this name alone in the future!

Have you considered spelling it Reilly? I absolutely love it spelled that way.

I really like the idea of spelling it Reilly, i think it makes it a little more masculine. Great idea! i hadn't even considered any alternate spellings!
